Add E2E Encryption

Add E2E Encryption

Add E2E Encryption like boxcryptor to allow user to locally encrypt and share content.

Boxcryptor was the perfect solution and was (still is) very well integrated into drobox.

 

Please do not suspend this service, but reactivat it.

Hi @apfund

 

in what quarter this year can we expect some more information or possible a release date? I understand giving a estimate for a release date is difficult, but I'm currently three months away from having to renew my OneDrive Subscription but don't want to switch now if the feature will take another few months / year.

Hi @CentrixDE 

we are in the process of finalizing an Early Access version, which is scheduled for release in Q4 of this year. This version will be made available to a select group of customers, allowing them to try it out and provide valuable feedback.

Additionally, we have set a target release date for the public version of our native end-to-end encryption for business customers. We anticipate that this version will be ready for launch in Q1 of 2024.

While we are confident in our roadmap, it's important to acknowledge that unforeseen roadblocks can occur. We are prepared to address any challenges that may arise to ensure a successful release.

Over the past month I've been testing Apple's iCloud Drive. It now offers two features Dropbox isn't offering:
1. end-to-end encryption

2. 6TB and 12TB plans.

 

IMO iCloud Drive has come a long way. On my system it's faster than Dropbox and offers two features I would dearly like to see in Dropbox.

 

I've been a long time Dropbox user but the clock is ticking. Please offer E2EE and larger, competitive plans as soon as possible, also for the professional account.

Hello @hfr ,

 

I appreciate your patience. I'm excited to share that we are right on schedule. Next week, we'll begin onboarding our first early access customers. Additionally, we're on track to release this feature to our business customers by April 2024.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Thanks for the updates. Please also consider making E2EE available for personal plans.

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 this new feature, please sign up here. 
Thank you!

is this going to trickle down to personal plans or is it only business users?

Hi @klepp0906 

our current plan is to offer it to our business customers.
