End-to-end encryption API

Now that end-to-end encryption for teams is available, will there be any API support for this feature?

    Hi josuegomes , currently there are no plans to support the API with encrypted files/folders. But I'll share that feedback with our team. 

    Thank you!

I'm talking about specifically about an API support. Something like a hypothetical: /upload_session/start_encrypted that only accepts locally encrypted payloads.

Is something preventing you to do so?! 🤔🙂

You don't need special support. Missing of such a support and not rely on such make your code even more secure! 😉 In such a way Dropbox cannot distinguish (or not directly at least) between encrypted and unencrypted content.

    Yes. The API doesn't exist. That is the very reason for the original post.
