Dropbox Vault offline access
Hello,
Dropbox Vault sounds like a very nice new feature, and I was wondering how to access it while I'm not connected to the internet (i.e. offline).
On my Mac, when I click on the Vaul...
This is a useful thread. For me offline access to the vault is critical. The whole point of using the vault for me is to store images of passport and other ids. However when traveling to a foreign country, the time when you need access to those images is the time when you probably can't get internet access. So the lack of offline access makes it a non-starter. I'm better off just keeping the images in the photos app on my phone; and I can eliminate the $$$ annual dropbox fee entirely.

I found my solution in the Microsoft Cloud OneDrive that works quite ok for me.
For you it still might not fit perfectly.
I can not make my data available offline but they are stored offline as well. In order to unlock vault on your computer you need one time access to the internet. But the data itself is stored in the vault of the cloud as well as offline and securely on your device(s).
Another useful feature is that you can set a time, how long your vault should be unlocked. What is not the case with Dropbox, what is a real disaster when you upload large files. Then you need to upload to the Dropbox first and then move it to Dropbox vault.
It is also 2TB for free included in my office license. Thus I am thinking of switching completely and saving €€€ annually as you already stated.
