    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!

Hi nhflasun16

 

I did extensive reading about this earlier this week. While I am no expert in zero knowledge encryption, this is what I found out: There are many few cloud providers that do zero knowledge encryption. Reason for that is not so that they can spy on you. It is to provide you with a faster user experience. 

 

Also, Dropbox (and others) integrate with other providers (e.g. Adobe, Zoom, Slack, etc) and if the encryption key is with you, and not with the cloud provider (read Dropbox) then the service offering to you will be slower. 

 

If you do not like that Dropbox has access to your encryption keys, move on, and look at a provider like sync.com or others. 

 

That is my understanding, and I may be wrong. But this is OK with me, as I doubt a Dropbox engineer will want to look at my holiday photos of 2 years ago or whatever. 

 

Regards
