Here again, the developers tell me that this is a feature they are considering.

Safebox encrypts it and sends it to Dropbox.

To encrypt a file and send it to Dropbox, simply move the file to the Safebox folder.

When you download and install Safebox, it creates a Safebox folder on your computer, similar to the folder that Dropbox adds to your computer. (It uses AES-256, the advanced encryption standard with a 256-bit key.) Once the encrypted file is added to Dropbox, you can retrieve it from any other computer you use, provided you have also installed Safebox there. Even so, many lawyers remain concerned about the security of the files they load into Dropbox.Ī new application released this week, Safebox, enables you to encrypt your files before you send them to Dropbox, so that they do not leave your computer until they are protected with what the company promises is military-grade security. According to the 2013 ABA Legal Technology Survey Report, it is not only the most popular cloud storage platform among lawyers, but also the most popular cloud-based application of any kind among lawyers. Lots of lawyers are using Dropbox to store files online and access them from multiple devices.
