We would like to request end-to-end encrypted folders availability in other paid tiers like Family: Here is a rationale: In previous Dropbox product offerings there was a strategy of offering premium features as incentive to upgrade to higher tiers of service, take Hello Sign for example. But in this instance there is not…

This has been a long and active thread. I also have no ill feelings about Andrea selling Boxcryptor to Dropbox; it was a great product and you should deserve to benefit. But I happily paid $65/year to BC for six years preceding that and it was the best solution I could find for TNO encryption. I’m glad there has been…

I still can not fathom how this went down so badly. All they had to do was just keep things as-is until they could refactor BC to be Dropbox native then have a seamless cut over. Maybe there was some legal shenanigans about BC because it was a German company so subject to GDPR? I can’t for the life of me think why else you…

Hi NX81. I feel like Cryptomator is the logical alternative at this point. It's open source I think, but you can make a donation. I've been using it in a test mode but haven't committed to it yet so I can't swear from first hand experience that it is solid, but everything I've seen inspires me with confidence. Good luck!

And, just to close the loop on this, I was able to use that grep and it surfaced about half a dozen directories in dark corners of my Dropbox volume that were still encrypted with Boxcryptor. Knowing I verifiably decrypted everything 100% gives me a lot more peace of mind. I am finally ready for BC to (sadly) go away.

apdund that’s awesome! Exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks.

Hi all. Glad to hear people are having success testing boxcryptor install on a fresh system to ensure we can access our files after March even when the main BC site goes down. However, we still have two looming problems by my reckoning. The first was mentioned previously; Apple updates OSX in a way that is incompatible…

Got it, I understand now. Thank you @"sydsyd" .

Hey, that is a pretty clever idea! I hadn't even thought about using Dropbox as the backend home dir sync for different system users under Linux. One quick followup question if you don't mind though. In this scenario didn't you have to share an unprotected link with each of the users in this example? I mean, those don't…

Hi @"sydsyd" , Would you mind clarifying the "sharing single folder" solution? Did you have to generate a public sharing link and then use that? Or did you somehow manage to share the link *from* your Dropbox account and then again use the *same* Dropbox account in a different location with that link?

As a Boxcryptor user for 6 years I'm confused about the strategy here as well. Why do we need to decrypt all our files first and then wait for Dropbox to re-integrate the capability? It would have been great if we could have kept all our files just as they were, and have the encryption service just transfer seamlessly into…

I would suggest this is a common use case and should be treated as a mainstream use of the product. I'm setting up a Minecraft server on Digital Ocean and just assumed it'd be easy to use Dropbox in this fashion. All I wanted to do was basically sync a directory like Games/Minecraft to this droplet, without having to first…
