Encrypting files

3.3.1. Encrypting files

When encrypting a file, only the latest version of the file will be encrypted. All other versions will be deleted.

How to encrypt a file:

Warning: When encrypting a file, all versions of the file will be deleted, except for the current version. If you need to keep an older version, save it before encrypting the file.

  1. Select one or several files in the Drive app. Click the Actions icon in the tool bar. Click on Encrypt in the menu.

    You can also use the Actions icon on the right side of the categories bar. Click on Encrypt in the menu.

  2. If the file contains multiple versions, the Encrypt Files window is displayed. Confirm that you want to encrypt the file and delete all previous versions by clicking on OK.

    If the file contains one version only, the file is encrypted without additional requests.
