Dropbox Vault will be discontinued
Do you know what you are you doing ?????
Hey guys!
Thanks for showing your interest in Dropbox Vault.
To concentrate our efforts on further improving our existing security features and building new capabilities around advanced data protection, we’ve made the decision to discontinue Dropbox Vault.
From March 4th Dropbox Vault will no longer be available. If you’re currently using your Vault, that folder will automatically turn into a standard Dropbox folder, that doesn’t require a PIN to access. The files in your folder will remain the same.
I hope this clarifies!
Vault is essential for using Dropbox with both private personal files and professional work files. I will look for an alternative to Dropbox now. Removing Vault seems to me to be a crazy decision. It was fine that Vault was accessible only through the website, whereas the folders outside of Vault were integrated into the file systems of my Mac and Windows machines. Without Vault, personal files turn up on Mac Spotlight or may be inadvertently opened during work or screen sharing with colleagues. This is unacceptable.
I am not a new member. I have used Dropbox for many years. I guess the characterization is just a bug and Dropbox’s forum system.
