    I thought they were on to do something with that article 45 that has something to do with CA certiciates. When did they go back and decide not to do it?

      End to end encryption means user to user. Not a local storage… It’s just an encrypted storage, there is no end.

            “This” refers to any other type of encryption. Such as encrypting individual files.
