You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Dropbox Vault Timer Notification and Option to Extend before locking
Hi Guys , Dropbox has been around for years now, I have been using One Drive Private Vault for many years - only reason I switched to Dropbox is because your Vault function is available on Mac Os - For the Love of God you have had so many users Ask you to create a option that allows the user to extend the timer before the vault just closes suddenly , while a user is still working a file! My Lord , all your developers need to do is create a popup banner saying " your vault is about to lock in 1 min ! you want to keep it open for another 5min, 10min or 20min or do you want to lock it right now!. This will most certainly keep many MS One Drive users from staying, What the heck is the issue and why haven't you given us this option yet . I just Spend $137 dollars on your Dropbox Plus version to be treated with the most frustrating feature - considering a refund !!!1 just get it done developers
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.
Vault disappeared on iPhone app after last update
I’m running iOS 17.1 and DropBox app version 352.2.2. Since the last DropBox app update Vault is no longer accessible. I’ve been able to access it on the desktop site only. I’ve cleared the cache and signed out but Vault does not show up. Is this a known issue with this version or is it a feature going away on the app?
I'd like to be able to open/close my Vault folder via the Dropbox icon menu in my system tray
it seems that the to open the "vault" folder I have use the (system) file explorer to goto the dropbox folder then find the "vault" entry, select it and enter the pin to open it --- and to close it I have to use the explorer again -- I would suggest that this process move to the db icon in the system tray (windows)
Vault resyncs every time
I'm very frustrated with this. I have a lot of stuff in the Vault that I need to access multiple times a day, and every time I open it it starts syncing, which takes time, CPU usage, energy, everything.Then the Vault times out and locks and the files are deleted from the computer. Repeat. Can't I just have a Vault password but have the files permanently synced? My PC: Windows 11 Home (64 bits), x64-based processor Version 22H2 OS build 22621.1702
