How do I add end to end encryption on my files?
Hello!
I am completely new to Dropbox. After downloading thousands of photos, I discovered that Dropbox doesn't have end to end encryption which is disappointing. I have been told to add my own encryption. Would someone know how I do that please? It doesn't help that technology is not my strong point. Thank you in advance.

Hi DanniViolet, thanks for messaging the Community!
End-to-end encryption is generally done by installing a third party program, which encrypts the files on your computer.
You then add the file to your Dropbox account, and in order to decrypt the file at a later date (or another device), you'll generally need to use the same program to do so.
I'll leave this thread open for suggestions from other users.
Thank you so much Jay. Would you be able to recommend a third party program?

We wouldn't be able to provide any specific recommendations. However, if you search for file encryption apps in your search engine, you should find a list of potential apps to use.
