Dropbox acquires Boxcryptor. What will happen to all those files that have been encrypted?

It remains a mystery why Secomba and Dropbox were so amateurish with the merger. They have completely ruined their image and no matter what products and plans they come up with in the future, I will never trust such amateurs again. I'm meanwhile used to and happy with my new structures and solutions.

Hi andrewfrey and Steve-IR , 

my team is working on implementing end-to-end encryption natively in our Dropbox product.
As mentioned before, we are starting to onboard first early access customers next week and plan to release the feature in April 2024. 
Concerning the eligibility of customers, our primary focus is on catering to the needs of business customers through this solution. Unfortunately, at this point in time, I'm unable to share more details. But I'll keep you in the loop.

Thank you for your understanding and patience. 

yes, you are right. As of now, there has been no official statement regarding the future of Boxcryptor and its encryption services. It is still unclear what will happen to the files that have been encrypted with Boxcryptor. It is possible that Dropbox may continue to support Boxcryptor's encryption services, or they may provide an alternative service to their users.

Hi saima1412 , the boxcryptor team has published an official blogpost regarding the future of boxcryptor here. 
Existing customers and users receive a notice of cancellation of the service and will only be able to use the Boxcryptor product until the end of their subscription. When the cancellation period is over, the corresponding accounts will be locked and the connected devices will be disconnected. 
This means, that boxcryptor customers should decrypt their data by then. If there are any questions, you can reach out to the boxcryptor support team. 

thank you so much for the update. let me go through this blogpost..

Hi @apfund ( Andrea ),

is there a way to become an early access customer ( as a business user, reseller ) ? 2Q24 is a little disappointing as first 3Q-4Q 23 was stated as release timeframe.

thx

Boxcryptor was acquired by Dropbox. Will encryption be available on Dropbox and when? And will encryption be available on other online storage accounts, like it was in Boxcryptor?

Hi SMRose_FL 

we are currently working on our native implementation of end-to-end encryption for Dropbox.

We are planning to release the feature for our business customers in April next year. 

Thank you for your response. Does this mean that individuals will not be able to use Encryption on Dropbox?

Yep - as mentioned earlier in different posts - only for business accounts.
