Sync and backup problems with DataVault
Hi
First post - hope someone can help
I've been using DataVault for many years for storing passwords and other information. It has some form of integration with Dropbox to allow it to share data between my Android phone and tablet. Up to recently it has worked perfectly - but no longer.
When I add additional information to my Datavault on either my android tablet or android phone it will no longer sync nor can I backup to Dropbox. Dropbox is installed on both devices with the same login details but I keep getting the message
Dropbox Exception:com.dropbox.coreNetworkIOException:handshake failed.
How do I fix this? Many thanks in anticipation.
Having the exact same problem. No longer able to sync Android tablet using Dropbox. My Windows PC and iPhone is still syncing fine. Have also sent several emails to [email removed as per Community Guidelines]
Still have not received any response. May start looking for another password manager however datavault hasn't changed in years. So this seems to be a change made by Dropbox which is causing this error..
- Hi NickDV, and Others
I originally took this up with Dropbox as the error messages indicated it was a Dropbox problem. It was explained to me that it was an interface issue (probably not the correct terminology) between DataVault and Dropbox bot that DataVault are responsible for writing this interface software.
Looks like there has been nobody at home at DataVault for at least a month. I've found my solution (above) and won't go back to DataVault even if they do eventually fix this problemFinally after weeks of chasing DataVault, I got this reply today from their Customer SuccessTeam
Well that's too late for me as I have already bought 2 other apps in my search for a solution, but hope it will help some of you's g wishing you all lots of success
We are aware of the issue and plan to release a new version next week.Best,

It most likely is. Dropbox recently stopped accepting API connections using the outdated and insecure TLS 1.0 and 1.1 protocols. It now requires TLS 1.2 for all connections. If a developer hasn't updated their app to support the newer protocol, then it will no longer be able to connect.
This isn't a change that happened without warning. Dropbox notified developers this was coming back in October and then gave a reminder in March; a month before they started to implement the change.
I have the same issue and have been waiting about a week for a reply from Ascendo.
Well good luck with getting a reply. I've sent 3 emails to Ascendo over the last month and nothing. This app is still being sold on the Play Store but there is absolutely no support.
Like everyone else I have a lot of important information on DataVault and am looking into alternatives. I have bought Password Safe but think that transferring the data from one to another is going to be a headache as categories and templates are different on both apps
- Same here. I have a ton of data in premium paid Datavault. It has been flawless until now. No reply from ascendo to multiple emails over a month. I don't want to pay monthly for an app and cannot find one that can import csv from Datavault.
Already have yesterday, no reply as yet, but I thought the error message quoted indicated a Dropbox issue??
- I signed up on 09/04/24 for Trial Datavault+ backup to dropbox 4.99/year on Google Play
I get this synching error message when I open DATA VAULT: Check Dropbox Error:com.dropbox.core.InvalidAcce ssTokenException: ("error": (".tag":"expired_access_token"),"erro r_summary":"expired_access_token/
IS IT DATA VAULT OR DROPBOX ISSUE?

You need to ask DataVault I'm afraid - it sounds like an issue with their integration.
