Dropbox doesn't provide for client-side encryption. Dropbox also doesn't support the creation of your own private keys. However, Dropbox users are free to add their own encryption.
I'm using Cryptomator, so I lost a few features from Dropbox to gain my privacy. Dropbox Vault is just a folder with an extra password, not encrypted, just password / pin to access it.
I tried to create a secret.txt file, write something on it, "Copy Dropbox Link", and lock my vault, then, I tried to open this copied link to Private Browsing mode, and I can see what is inside secret.txt file without login to any account, such a privacy, right?
I still using Dropbox because it can run on multiple OS, I'm using Linux, MacOS, and sometimes Windows, but I consider to move to another provider which have e2e encryption.
