End-to-end encryption on Dropbox content. How does it work?
Hi are files sent from Mac or iPhone to Dropbox Cloud end-to-end encrypted?

Hi HealthFreak, I hope you're doing well!
Feel free to have a look here, in regards to your question.
If you have more questions, I think the best way for you to have an insight would be to check with the respective app on their end.

End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is a method of secure communication that prevents third parties from accessing data while it's transferred from one end system or device to another. In E2EE, the data is encrypted on the sender's system or device, and only the intended recipient can decrypt it.

I didn't ask for a definition of End-to-end encryption - I asked "are files sent from Mac or iPhone to Dropbox Cloud end-to-end encrypted?"

😯 Yes, you didn't ask, but seems have no idea what this means! 😁

- So I don’t understand why you’re saying I don’t understand what it means and how this definition is different from my question - if files sent from Mac or iPhone to Dropbox Cloud end-to-end encrypted? -
- ie if there is "End-to-end encryption secure communication that prevents third parties from accessing data while it's transferred from one end system or device (in my question - Mac or iPhone) to another (in my question - Dropbox)".
- "the data is encrypted on the sender's system or device (in my question - Mac or iPhone), and only the intended recipient (in my question - Dropbox cloud) can decrypt it" - or vice versa.
