Retain Vault!

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.
However, Dropbox is steadfast in its commitment to safeguarding your data.
Our applications and infrastructure are regularly tested for security vulnerabilities, and hardened to enhance security and protect against attacks.
There are also steps that you can take to enhance the security of your account.
These steps include:
- Setting up 2-step authentication
- Creating a strong password
- Conducting a security checkup
- Protecting shared files and folders with passwords
I hope this clarifies!
HOW IS THIS "SOLVED" AND "MARKED AS A SOLUTION"
Why are we even having this foolish discussion and wasting our time and money ? We all bought this and I paid for a whole year and now the main reason I paid for DB was for a service that is being cancelled with only a 30 day notice ! We are begging and crying to have what we purchased. Honestly I am going talk to my Attorney. If the Vault is already up and running and even 1 customer complains why would it be cancelled. We are the few vocal ones - imagine the other people who are just quietly accepting being treated like this !!
