    I wanted to share a quick update with you: 

    We have launched our end-to-end encryption in April. More details can be found here and here. 
    High level overview: 
    You can now add end-to-end encryption to team folders. The functionality is available for our Advanced, Business Plus and Enterprise customers at no additional costs. 

    If there are any questions, please let me know!

Love the idea.

Some applications (joplinapp.org for instance) has support for dropbox but adds an encryption layer before sending the files to Dropbox - meaning that Dropbox does not have access to any keys, only the pre-encrypted data.

I'm not suggesting this as a solution, but zero-knowledge-encryption presents alot of technical challenges - foremost just handling keys in any form for 'normal' users tends to be quite hard; "forgot passphrase - how do I retrieve my data" will tend to skyrocket as a question.

But I would love too see that functionality.
