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!
The VAULT was one of the reasons I used drop box.
It's a little like they said, "Hey... just a heads up but the first of March, we're gonna dump all of your sensitive employee information (social security numbers etc.) on the front steps for everyone that has access to your Dropbox!"
I'm not a fan of this decision.
It seems like they would at least have a solution or an alternative, but all I've heard is crickets.
