> What about this issue would have been helped by client-side encryption
I was assuming that an employee account can in a more or less direct way access user files. Either way, it's not the first time they've been compromised and last time[1] client-side encryption would have certainly helped.

The web interface could work with client side encryption.
I wouldn't mind having no encryption for publicly shared files.
