Dropbox Vaults
Nowadays, more people are storing necessary documents online, in case a fire breaks out at home, or a thief breaks in. With Dropbox Vault, you can save your driver’s license or health records in the app’s cloud, and you could lock your vault with a PIN. Also, you can choose persons you trust to get your files in case of emergencies.
Only Plus subscribers can use the vault feature. However, the app allows its Basic users to use the new computer backup feature. If you work with storage app a lot, you might as well upgrade to the paid plans to get the most out of the app.
