Please don't deprecate Dropbox Vault.

PLEASE reconsider discontinuing Vault. I really like and use the feature. I remain logged in on a few devices and enjoy that ease of functionality. However, there are some types of files that I prefer to protect a little extra. Yes, I could further encrypt, but that adds extra steps. Please Keep Vault!
