Dropbox now offers end-to-end encryption and key management for customers on certain paid plans, part of a range of updates to the file sharing application announced this week.  Customers files are already encrypted “at rest” using 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standards, said Dropbox, but the end-to-end encryption integrated into team folders offers an added layer of security.  The change means that only the sender and recipient can access content, with “not even Dropbox” able to view customers files, the company said in a blog post Wednesday.  Dropbox said it will also provide customers with access to encryption keys, managed by FIPS 140-2 Level 3 key management services. Information on how to activate and manage team folder encryption is available on the Dropbox website.
