Nit, but what you’re describing is e2ee (except for the metadata). If you encrypt your files before uploading and decrypt it only locally then only the logical sender and recipient have access. That it goes through Dropbox is not important (and also the beauty of e2ee).
This is a bit unusual, otherwise it’s typically people (and shady service providers) who say that something is e2ee when it isn’t.
