    I'm afraid you can't revoke access to a shared vault. See this knowledge base article:

    Can I revoke access to a shared vault?

    Hi @gregrittler,

    You may have plenty of questions after reading that page and we'll do our best to answer all of them. To best guide you it could help to have a better understanding of your setup.

    How were you sharing the vault? If it was over Dropbox were you all accessing a single Dropbox account or were you sharing a folder between different Dropbox accounts?

    As the page will cover, you can take measures to ensure future access is withdrawn but there isn't a way to remove the vault remotely. It might seem like a great feature to add but the way it is right now, at least in my mind, serves a purpose. All passwords inside that vault should be changed as they are all passwords the employee has had access to and potentially copied. Knowing you can't remove the vault as it exists at the time of the final synchronisation will help encourage the next move, the tedious chore of changing all the passwords the user had access to. I can't say it won't be a PITA but it's necessary for good security.

    Anyway, if we can be of further assistance please do post any questions you may have :smile:
