Could be the engineer didn't have permission to see file details. They could still be readable by higher-ups, but not to the general engineer. This is how it should work, if e2ee is not used. If Dropbox allowed everyone who worked on their server to read files... that's a huge invasion of privacy.

Makes no sense though. As if the engineer is the one deciding which apps are built. He's just saying things he thinks he sees.
