Will we see a “Drop Amazon” site (and social media campaign) on the lines of “Drop Dropbox” [1] now? Or is Amazon too big and too entrenched that it’s almost a lost cause? [2]

Dropbox's founder said he would add end to end encryption as an option for the privacy geeks. Sadly, more than 13 years later, it still has not been implemented. Looks like it never will be.

Yes. I can also use Cryptomator, Boxcrpytor , 7zip but that's not the point.

They should atleast provide an option

I remember this campaign, it influenced me to not buy a paid service from Dropbox. (I know I am just a drop in the sea.)
