How do I add end to end encryption on my files?
Hello! I am completely new to Dropbox. After downloading thousands of photos, I discovered that Dropbox doesn't have end to end encryption which is disappointing. I have been told to add my own encryption. Would someone know how I do that please? It doesn't help that technology is not my strong point. Thank you in advance.
re-linking a device
I had to install a new Windows OS, and was afraid that doing so might delete all my files and then sync those deletions--so I unlinked this PC from Dropbox. Actually, nothing was deleted on my PC. But now, I can't figure out how to get this PC linked again so it will sync. I have searched the FAQs, but can find NOTHING on how to re-link. Please HELP!! Thank you.
How do I require a password before a user in macOS can change the Selective Sync folders?
Long story short, I need my primary Dropbox account on my two computers and my iPad. I sync the same folders on each device. For security purposes, should my computer be logged into when I'm not around, I need to require a password before allowing selective sync folders to be edited. Otherwise, somebody can just walk up to my computer if I step away, select all folders to be synced, and have immediate access to files they shouldn't have. My computer is locked, secured, encrypted and password protected already. However there are times where just by the nature of being in an office with others where you will step away for a minute or to and for whatever reason the computer isn't locked. For that worst case scenario, I need to be able to require users enter a password before changing selective sync folders. The password could be the Dropbox account password, or could be a password required by macOS Ventura, as this computer is running mac OS Ventura. Perhaps there is a way to have Ventura require a password before changing the settings/preferences of an already running application? If I cannot solve this problem and lock selective sync by device (not by user account) then our entire company has to leave Dropbox. I'd prefer not to do that, but if Dropbox doesn't offer this security feature, or I can't get macOS to simulate it, our entire organization has to move to a competitor that has this feature. Any ideas?!
