Why isn't end-to-end encryption available for all Dropbox plans?

Hello,

 

Why is End-to-end encryption not offered on all plans, even if you need to pay extra for it ?

 

End to end encryption is fundamentally should be the default as standard, so am perplexed why Dropbox do not offer this on plans other then Business Plus.

 

Many thanks

      Thank you for your reply Walter ,

       

      Yes I can see the functionality is available across your Advanced, Business Plus and Enterprise customers at no additional costs. 

       

      So why is this not available on other plans as standard ? 

       

      E2E encryption is a big selling point to the end consumer ' 

       

      Seems like Dropbox is missing a trick here, if you need a IT consultant to advise, my rates are very reasonable.
