Earlier quoted context omitted.

Given Dropbox's absolutely glacial pace of feature progression, no it would not be easy. I mean, all of dropbox runs off of one set of private keys... https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/28

Dropbox works with the NSA to hand over customer data. You are absolutely right that something like this would go over like a turd in a punchbowl at Dropbox HQ.

Unlike Google, Microsoft and Slack, Dropbox does have the top, 5 star, EFF rating for protecting your data from the government... I'm not sure what more they could be doing.

I'd like one if you have any left to spare, thanks.

Except that "product" means some real result of a creative process. There's zero about the term "product" that has any reliance on any element of money inherently.
