Dropbox discontinuing Vault, moving it to a normal folder
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- jbverschoor 2y ago“Files in your Dropbox Vault will move to a folder named Vault within your main Dropbox account. You won’t need a PIN to access this folder.” Nice, great security
- bayindirh 2y agoI feel like this is a canary, meaning somebody could be reading your sensitive private data already, and please don't store that thing with us.
- good8675309 2y agoAs someone that uses Vault, this news sucks. What cloud storage alternatives are there that have a similar pin access secure files feature?
- bayindirh 2y agopCloud. Store your files in Europe or US, store them under an encrypted folder, if you really like them, pay for lifetime storage space or crypto feature.
- good8675309 2y agoI found a solution. I downloaded my Vault folder, installed Cryptomator, moved my files into it and now it synchs the encrypted files to Dropbox.
- nitro721 2y agoThat's what I did as well. I'm now using a Cryptomator vault within Dropbox. Ironically, Dropbox dropping their vault has made my vault more secure now than it was. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- silkySloth 2y agoWould have been nice to be given a reason as to why. We can probably guess but still…
- jwds 2y agoI got a response to my Dropbox ticket asking why they're discontinuing their Vault… "We discontinue Dropbox Vault primarily due to significant technical risks that could compromise the security we provide to our users. We want to concentrate our efforts on further enhancing our existing security features."
