Is there zero knowledge encryption for the Professional account?
Currently have a Professional account - spending around $20 / month. Is there any way to get zero knowledge encryption (end-to-end encryption) at the Pro level? I'm not eager to spend even $5 more ...
I have another question. I just enabled end to end encryption but I need to encrypt an existing, non-shared folder with subs. These are my patient files. How can I do this? I was sent to folders already shared by my team or was given the option to create a new encrypted folder which I do not want to do. Make sense?
How to encrypt an existing folder that isn't shared by my team?
Best, Stan

Dropbox StaffHey DrStan54, thanks for your question.
End-to-end encryption applies only to team folders; any other folders in a team account are not included.
I hope this clarifies things.
Hi Hannah and thank you.
- Can I still create team folder with end to end encryption and then kick my team members out of the folder afterward?

Hi Stan,
As an admin, you have the option to create a new team folder with end-to-end encryption enabled, and you can choose not to share it with any other team members. This will result in a team folder that only you, as the admin, can access. To move your existing files into this encrypted folder, simply copy and paste them, and all files will be encrypted and accessible only by you.
Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions!
