Dropbox Vault disappears from finder list after unlocking
Recently, when I unlock my Dropbox Vault folder the folder itself disappears from the finder list after unlocking. I can still see it when I go to Dropbox online, just not on my computer's finder. ...

Hi schroederphoto, thanks for the info!
Could you wait until your app is up to date, then uninstall, and re-install it? Let me know if this changes this behavior you're facing with your Vault.

Yeah, removing core features is an interesting strategy. But if this happens, I’ll have to move onto a competitor.

WTF why are you removing features from the Mac that you support in iOS. That’s just wrong. I been a register Apple Developer for 15 years. What’s wrong with you guys.

The vault is (was?) a major Dropbox feature for me .
It is really astonishing to see Dropbox developers forcing customers out: I have been a Dropbox user for well over a decade and it would be an unpleasant hassle to look into alternative solutions, but, unless this is a momentary issue, I will have to do this.Disappointing, really.

I agree with the previous comments that Vault should be available on the Mac version. It doesn't make sense that we can't use Vault on the desktop and that we have to go to the Dropbox website to use it. Why would you do that for any of the folders, and particularly for Vault. Vault is generally used for personal and sensitive documents, and I would like to have the option of keeping those documents available on my computer.
