Since this is such a new development, such answers are likely not available yet, beyond what has been stated by the Boxcryptor founders (emphasis mine).
What does this mean for our users and customers?
First of all: All our existing users and customers will remain with the German Secomba GmbH with the same shareholders as during the past 10 years. No contracts, customer data or keys will migrate to Dropbox, all data will remain in our German data centers.
While we’ve sold several key technology assets to Dropbox, we will continue to service our existing users and customers pursuant to the terms of their existing contracts. However, as of today, we will not allow the creation of new accounts or purchases of any new licenses.
If you’re an existing customer, you can keep using Boxcryptor as you do today, and we’ll be in touch with more details as we join forces with Dropbox. If you’re new here and would like to stay up to date on Dropbox’s progress, join the Dropbox mailing list.

yes i need to decrypt all files before my license expire ..what a mess
I have received an email saying our subscription will expire 3/20/23 but no instructions as to how to keep using encryption services in dropbox. Someone please explain and help me.
njwolfegang you received an e-mail from Dropbox or Boxcryptor? I don't get your point here yet...
At least on a Macintosh, you can continue using Boxcryptor with Dropbox under a local computer account. If you search above, you will find some help in doing that.
Recognize, though, that there are some risks in running Boxcryptor as an unsupported application, which is also discussed above.
The answer is: There is no support for you.
