Hey there Iplicjian, thanks for reaching out to us and sorry to hear about your frustration. 

 

You are right, your vault can only be opened from the website and the Dropbox mobile app. 

 

However, if you don't see any option to move the files back to their original locations, let's see if we can find a workaround for now.

 

Could you open your Vault on one browser tab and your Files tab in another, and try to drag a test file from your Vault to Files tab?

 

Let me know of any updates, cheers!

By opening another widow, I was able to move all the files back online, what a pain!!!  You need to explain what the Vault is and what you can and can't do with it.  It's only for files that you never look at or use!!!
