End to End Encryption Coming?
I read that Dropbox will be starting to roll out end-to-end encryption (where they don't have the keys to read content if they chose to).
Does anyone know when this feature will be available?

Hi morkus
This looks like its a feature thats only going to be available to Business customers via a third party add on called Boxcryptor which Dropbox recently acquired. There is no mention of it being available to standard users.

My last support contact with Dropbox on this matter was three weeks ago. There was no date available yet for an end-to-end encryption offer. In the meantime, our Boxcryptor licences have expired and we therefore left Dropbox Business in favour of Tresorit and have had very good experiences there so far. For private file encryption with various cloud services (e.g. OneDrive), my experiments with Cryptomator (open source) were very promising. I will test Dropbox with a free account and Cryptormator when I get the chance. Since we left Dropbox with our business data, however, this is no longer a hurry for me.
