Hi
As most will know, dropbox has purchased boxcryptor.
At this point my question is, what will happen to all those files that have been encrypted with boxcryptor ? Should they all be decrypted and wait for communication on how the transaction will be handled by Dropbox ?
Boxcryptor was used to encrypt files using other cloud services, will this change ?
Thank you very much
Riccardo
can we use a local boxcryptor account on a windows PC?
If yes, how please
Marc
I did download my key. I don't see an alternative option when I log to Boxcryptor on my window PC ( no 3 points)
Thanks for answering
Marcusss, you need to completely log out of BC and THEN quit the app before starting it up again if you want to see the option to use BC as a local account. On the Mac, you log out of BC from Preferences -> Account. Click Sign Out on that screen. It's probably the same or similar on the PC. Once you restart the app, the login screen has an ellipsis menu (three dots). Tap that, then click Local Account. On the next screen choose to use the local account. Convoluted, yes, but that's the only way to make it work, AFAIK.
Hi,
we are currently looking for customers who would like to join the early access program of our native implementation of end-to-end encryption.
If you are the team admin of your Dropbox account and would like to test it, please sign up here.
Thank you!
Well that took some time. Any idea when a public release will occur? Will it only be available to Dropbox Business users, or will Professionals or Plus users be able to access (with or without purchase) encryption as well? Thanks.

The first version will only be available to Dropbox Business customers.
@whausername - it is definitely only going to be available to multi-seat business licences. Single user accounts (Pro/Professional/Essentials) are not within this.
From what I've seen/heard I'd not be surprised if it was for Enterprise customers only.
