End to End Encryption Coming?

I read that Dropbox will be starting to roll out end-to-end encryption (where they don't have the keys to read content if they chose to).   Does anyone know when this feature will be available? ...

I am a BoxCryptor customer that has a valid paid subscription that ends very shortly and can't be renewed due to this aquisition.  I still want the same features that BoxCryptor offered as far as end to end encryption and should be available to all paid users, but even if it's only available to "business" accounts, I can't find any information about what (business) plan is required along with whatever the prices would be.  It would be helpful if someone could give me that information before my BoxCryptor subscription expires in less than 14 days.

Hey evensenm, just wanted to share an update on this.

 

So, we plan to embed Boxcryptor’s zero-knowledge encryption capabilities natively within Dropbox for Business users on our paid plans to use across all file supported types on Dropbox.

 

We’re working to introduce this functionality to our Business customers as soon as possible. 

 

We are still finalizing the pricing and will share more information as soon as possible.

      My last support contact with Dropbox on this matter was three weeks ago. There was no date available yet for an end-to-end encryption offer. In the meantime, our Boxcryptor licences have expired and we therefore left Dropbox Business in favour of Tresorit and have had very good experiences there so far. For private file encryption with various cloud services (e.g. OneDrive), my experiments with Cryptomator (open source) were very promising. I will test Dropbox with a free account and Cryptormator when I get the chance. Since we left Dropbox with our business data, however, this is no longer a hurry for me.

      Hi Don Martin, 

       

      we are on track with the native integration of E2EE and are planning to onboard first early access customers within this year. 

      I will keep you updated in this forum.

        Thank you. How do we get signed up for early access? This transition has been a train wreck and I want a permanent solution ASAP.
