End-to-end encryption API
Now that end-to-end encryption for teams is available, will there be any API support for this feature?
Hi josuegomes , currently there are no plans to support the API with encrypted files/folders. But I'll share that feedback with our team.
Thank you!

Haha...😁
Hi josuegomes,
What do you mean "support" for end-to-end encryption? When such support comes up (let's hope this won't be) the end-to-end encryption will stay... like a joke. 😀 Do you understand what you ask for? You ask for remove/ban of this feature actually - it'll become meaningless! If even possible (not needed implemented), then it's already meaningless such an "encryption" (especially in quotes) usage.
The promise that this will be evaluated as an option denotes that... no such feature actual exists at all. It's just a marketing trick. 😉 Let's hope this is just apfund' confusion (misunderstanding the nature of such feature).
Good luck.

I appreciate your perspective. To clarify, when talking about API support for end-to-end encryption, I'm referring to whether we plan to extend our API support to enable developers to integrate end-to-end encryption functionality into their applications or workflows,. However, I understand your concern about potential implications for the security of end-to-end encryption. It's crucial for any extensions or integrations to maintain the same level of security and privacy protection. Thanks for highlighting this aspect.

Are you serious? 🧐 What means "API support" in this topic context? API can compromise end-to-end encryption; API cannot support it!
Such type of encryption can be supported only with library code that developers can choose from (on their own opinion - something any developer can do at any time). If you want, you may share such a code in your SDKs, where developers can select, but wouldn't advised anybody (developer or end user) to rely on API or other support directly provided by Dropbox (or any other service probider). This is illogical - like a rabbit to ask for protection some fox, for instance. 😁 Such type of protection is against service providers! 😉 Its use for something else is meaningless!!!
