Vault opening time more flexible.

I would like the vault opening time in Dropbox to be more flexible. I often work on documents stored in the vault for several hours, but the vault automatically closes after just a few minutes. This makes it inefficient, as I have to download the document, work on it outside the vault, and then reopen the vault to save my changes. It would be much more convenient if I could extend the vault's closing time to suit my working needs, allowing me to keep working on the document without interruptions.

    Please address this issue! I guess it's not as sexy as new features & functions, but without this basic usability feature, I will keep considering a different cloud storage option.
