Vault in Windows File Explorer
I created Vault folder on dropbox.com. But it has been more than a week but I don't see Vault folder in Windows 10 File Explorer. Is there some setting necessary for the Vault folder to be visible on...

It seems to be working! There is an executable file Vault.dbx-vault that is appearing in the File Explorer which asks for the pin and then the Vault folder appears.

I am having the EXACT same issue!! I can see the "Vault" folder on my online account at (www.dropbox.com) but the folder is nowhere to be found in DropBox within Windows File Explorer on my Windows 10 desktop/laptop! The folder is also NOT visible under Finder in MacOS. I can see a file "Vault.dbx-vault" both on Finder and Windows File Explorer, but no folder. I've added sub folders to the "Vault folder" online hoping that would somehow make a difference, but still...there is NO "Vault" folder visible under my DropBox folder in File Explorer or Finder
I am able to see it fine on the iOS app.
My DropBox app version is 149.3.4526 and syncing status is "up to date" (Windows). On my MacOS, the app version is 147.3.4765 and up to date as well.

Is the Vault actually supposed to sync to a computer? I know the instructions say it's accessible in Explorer and Finder, but in Selective Sync it's unchecked by default, and if you check it and apply the settings, it just gets unchecked again. It's as if Dropbox is specifically preventing the Vault from syncing to a computer.
