[HealthFreak]

Hi are files sent from Mac or iPhone to Dropbox Cloud end-to-end encrypted?

Anyway I really just wanted to understand whether this "Boxcryptor for Individuals" would provide better protection for the connection and transfer of files from my Mac/iPhone to Dropbox cloud.. and to iCloud for that matter.

As @ROKYRAJ noted, end-to-end encryption (E2EE) is something different and doesn't fit in your question - it's more secure presumably (depends on how is realized). If you mean, is E2EE provided somehow from Dropbox? - No, it doesn't not.
Of course, you are not limited in any way to encrypt your content using third party software (syncing encrypted containers for instance - something very secure and widely used).

I can add here that "Zero knowledge" is form of E2EE. 😉

Hope this helps.

Hi @Megan would you please reply to my reply to you from a few days ago..

Thank you for the article. I didn’t find it as I was searching for "end-to-end encryption"!

"Boxcryptor for Individuals" says - End-to-end encryption for your cloud data.. Boxcryptor encrypts all your data on your device before transfering anything to your cloud storage provider.
