Keep Vault, and prevent it from being deprecated.
This is a single competitive advantage that Dropbox has that other competition didn't have. This has been successfully used.
There have been two failures: Not allowing individuals to purchase above 4TB. This is a huge miss. I want my drives to be backed up. A 4TB space is quite easily filled up.
Vault: One of the biggest competitive advantages for your company (Dropbox) Why is this going away? Why was this the decision? Please share this with the community.
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.
There are also steps that you can take to enhance the security of your account.
These steps include:
- Setting up 2-step authentication
- Creating a strong password
- Conducting a security checkup
- Protecting shared files and folders with passwords
I hope this clarifies!

Another crappy decision-making idea from these geniuses. Last time was M1 support. They release crappy new features but remove useful ones.
