Files Vault URL paths is visible.

Vault is used to store sensitive files. But no one is thinking about file names with sensitive information. Stored file names are visible in browser search history. Why vault paths couldn't be encrypted?

    Hey there, Dumb0, I hope you're doing well!

     

    That would have to do mostly with the cache on the browser you're using to access Dropbox, and the history there. 

     

    I'd personally suggest an incognito mode, in order to avoid that, but in any case I'll forward your feedback to the appropriate areas so we can continue to improve.

     

    Have a lovely weekend ahead,enjoy!
