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.
I recently started using Vault for my more sensitive files. However, I was disappointed to see that whenever the Vault is locked, they are removed from the device and have to be re-downloaded whenev...
Imagine being in an emergency or foreign country and needing access to one's vault files on one's laptop (this is precisely the scenario type of scenario the vault is advertised to address). However in these scenarios, one may not be on wifi or one may have bad slow wifi. In a case like this, one will not be able to access the files in their vault!
- The files in the vault are not available offline on ones PC
- Each time the vault locks, even if the files in it were previously sync'd locally they all 'unsync'.
Due to these issues, this puts one in a worse situation than if the files were in the standard non-vault areas of Dropbox where they would exist locally offline, as long as the individual originated the files from the local device or has ever opened them on the local device.
