Remove files from the vault
I need to move files back to dropbox from the vault - the work around did not work.

I had the same issue - downloaded the files from the Vault and uploaded them to regular Dropbox - it works, takes a few minutes but got my files back in working order.

I put my folders into the vault, and now I realize that I want many of them back out again. Mostly I need them out so that I can work on them with apps. I regret jumping into Vault without being more careful. My working files are now in a place where I can't work on them. What am I missing?
How can I get my folders or files out of the Vault?

I was unable to access my Vault after I created it and added files to it on Oct. 21, 2021. I asked for help from Dropbox support. Their answer sent me off on a tangent to see if it was my security software blocking it.
Then later on, I received an email from support saying my issue was solved, which it wasn’t. I was not able to find anything wrong with my Norton security settings. It was not the reason for the malfunction as far as I can tell.
Finally today, I read instructions for how to delete your Vault. Go to the Dropbox website. Be logged in. At the upper right, you’ll see the icon containing your initials. Pull down from it & click Settings. In settings, I had 2 options, Delete Vault or Open. I clicked Open. Finally after that long with the Vault inaccessible I got the popup prompt to enter the Vault PIN & was able to access my Vault.
Now I don’t trust the Vault & will not be using it to store any important files there exclusively. It was not accessible by scrolling down from All Files at the left which are the only instructions I was able to find on accessing it. Every time I went back to try to access it from there, the Vault folder was light colored and labeled No Access. If I scrolled down from the menu at the center of my screen, I had the same result. The only way I was able to access it and get my files back out of there was to choose Open from Settings as I’ve described.
