Please add zero knowledge encryption on Dropbox.
I find that many Cloud services offer encryption during transfer to the service and encryption at the destination. Dropbox does this too. Unfortunately, the keys used at the destination are available to Dropbox. What would make Dropbox unique is if it would offer Zero Knowledge encryption at the client. That way all files are encrypted at the client with the customer retaining the keys. Why is this important? There can be bugs during transfer even if encryption is used (remember the famous OOPS with caches on internet servers offering up unencrypted data?). Also, the government can force Dropbox to deliver user data (or it may be compromised by hackers). Dropbox with Zero Knowledge Encryption would be a market leading solution that would drive a great preference over OneDrive, Google Drive and others. It would be the only way I would be comfortable putting my files on the cloud.Solved2.9MViews187likes33Comments

Old Email Account with gmail overwritten with google login.
Hello together! I need help and hope someone here can show me how to solve my problem... Today I got a new smartphone and I installed the Dropbox App on it. When you want to log into your account you can choose to login with google etc. or to login via e-mail and password. My account was created years ago with my Gmail Email and a password (not directly with the Gmail account, hope you know what I mean). Now, today I wanted to login into my dropbox account on my new phone, but i choosed to login with google and not log in via mail and password. Now a new account was crated with my googleaccount and I can´t reset my old password, because now I only can enter the new account. Pls help me. Thank you very much!Solved20KViews0likes35Comments
How does someone send me emails coming from no-reply@dropbox.com?
Questions about receiving an email "via dropbox" with a sender ID of no-reply@dropbox.com. I received an email with a current "send" date and time with instructions to open a pdf document, delivered with this email. It required a sign-in and password from my email account to see the document. The strange part is the message was from an attorney that I had a relationship over 35 years ago. Yes, the attorney is still practicing. My questions are how does one send an email "via dropbox" if possible. Secondly, this email did contain real ID's and email addresses of the sender and the recipient (me). I havenpt called the attorney to see if he sent it yet. I am more concerned on how you send and what is required to send an email "via dropbox" Any clues on this?Solved17KViews0likes4Comments
Add second email address to account
I have just started using the DropBox for Business subscription – though still on the trial – and I am trying to connect a second version of my email address to my account. About a year ago we change our email setup from <firstname@company.com> to <firstname.lastname@company.com> and I get emails (and invitations to share folders) to both versions of the address. So I am trying to add an alias to my account so that I don't have to have two accounts. Does anyone know how to do this or a work around? Thanks for any help. GideonSolved15KViews0likes3Comments
Remove security code verification, so we can access the account even without email access.
Hi, While I perfectly know why one would want to have 2fa on their account, this is something I chose *not to* activate. Now for some time Dropbox actually forces us to have access to the email on top of the password. I want to be able to deactivate this setting. I want to be able to access Dropbox at times I don't have access to my email.Solved10KViews1like15CommentsDeleting Account Error
When I go to delete my account, I get an error message after I've filled in all the details. It flashes with Error 500 and only gives me the option to only go back to the home page or visit the help center. I've tried 3x now to delete and nothing changes. Anyone offer any help?Solved7KViews1like53Comments
