And the new end-to-end encryption for iCloud sounds nice but who tells you that it really works reliably and that you can trust?

No contracts, customer data or keys will migrate to Dropbox, all data will remain in our German data centers. What does this mean for our users and customers?įirst of all: All our existing users and customers will remain with the German Secomba GmbH with the same shareholders as during the past 10 years. Since this is such a new development, such answers are likely not available yet, beyond what has been stated by the Boxcryptor founders (emphasis mine). At this point my question is, what will happen to all those files that have been encrypted with boxcryptor ?
