Vault termination
It seems like Dropbox is about to do it again. After removing the strong integration with Google Docs, causing many customers to all of a sudden have to work with links instead of documents, Dropbox...
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.
I hope this clarifies!
As Dropbox doesn't seem to want to bother with addressing the confidentiality issues related to their decision to terminate Vault, I have decided to part with the platform, after about 20 years.
For those who are also looking for alternatives: after some comparing I've personally settled on Pcloud as my new cloud storage solution. Their performance is impressive, and while the user interface is definitely less feature rich as Dropbox's, it's simple and elegant. Above all, Pcloud has extremely high standards when it comes to confidentiality. Migrating from Dropbox to Pcloud is super easy, just a click on the button and all your content is pumped over to the Pcloud servers, so that your workflow is never interrupted. Just saying.
Do you know if iPcloud integrates with Finder on MacBook?
No, I do not. I am not an Apple fan.
Yes it does.
One drawback of PCloud is that it doesn’t come with an integrated online editor for documents (except txt files) but the synch function with your local folders works great, so editing locally and synching immediatly as you work is the way to go.They have a lifetime option that is very inexpensive, but this causes me to question its viability. I went through this once with another company and only a few years later they discontinued their consumer offerings to focus on business offerings. That was a very short lifetime.
