How is Boxcryptor encryption included in plans and where is data stored?

Hey everybody,
as Dropbox acquired Boxcryptor, i wanted to know what is the current landscape about encyrption and where it is stored aswell as GDPR.

On a second note, does somebody have a pricing tabel for all the available plans?

      Hi atzenator , please also have a look at our blogpost which describes more details around encryption algorithms and how our end-to-end encryption works here.

      As Boxcryptor has been integrated into Dropbox, via the previous articles I've posted, there isn't any more information on how it has been changed or improved since then.

    Hey Jay,

    thank you very much for your answer, it´s much appreciated. I got all the details, except what kinda encryption do you offer? AES-256 for instance as a base for every user or does a more sophisticated plan means more encryption and a lower base level?

    Thanks for your time Jay

      You can see the encryption algorithms Dropbox uses for team folders on this page at the bottom.

    Hi atzenator, thanks for messaging the Community.

     

    Dropbox offers advanced encryption on certain team plans, as listed here. Data is stored at various locations, and GDPR information can be found here.

     

    Lastly, you can find a list of plans here.
