File Encryption

File encryption prevents others from accessing your data without your approval. Encryption 

uses a password you create to modify a file so that it cannot be opened until it‘s decrypted 
with that password. You can encrypt a file directly from your desktop or from an Explorer 
window; you don’t have to open the FreeAgent™ software in order to use this feature.

The encryption feature is not physically part of the FreeAgent application. Instead, it’s 

accessed through a right-click dropdown menu.

Encryption works only at the file level. You cannot encrypt folders, nor can you encrypt 

multiple files at one time. However, you can put multiple files and even folders into a 
compressed file and then encrypt the compressed file.

When you encrypt a file, a second version of the file that’s unreadable without being 

decrypted is produced in the location containing the original file. To complete the 
encryption process, you must delete the original, unencrypted version. 

When you decrypt a file, an unencrypted version is produced in the location containing the 

encrypted version. This version can now be opened and edited and then encrypted again.

Creating a Password

An encryption password must meet these requirements:

1. It must contain between 12 and 64 characters. 
2. It must contain both letters and numbers. 
3. It can contain any printable characters, including spaces. 

If you try to enter a password that does not meet these criteria, a window opens to remind 

you:
