You can generate this GPG/PGP key pair using the appropriate GPG software for your operating system see our steps for Windows, MacOS and Linux below. GPG encryption requires a GPG/PGP key pair. Please be assured that despite appearing in a list, the file is completely unavailable for any actions (other than delete) until the post-processing GPG encryption or decryption is complete.į site administrators can enable GPG encryption on a per-folder basis.Įnabling GPG encryption for a particular folder also means that files uploaded to any subfolders within that folder will be automatically encrypted unless you explicitly disable the folder setting on a subfolder. We intend to soon enhance our web interface and Desktop app to provide special icon/color indications when a file is in this locked state, as well as some indication of the status of the post-processing step. You will see the file appear in list requests via certain interfaces (such as FTP, SFTP, and some other integrations) during this state. The original unencrypted file is never stored on and the original file is completely unavailable for any actions (other than delete) until the post-processing is complete.Īfter the GPG encryption or decryption is applied then the original file is purged from the locked and quarantined container. The file is then streamed from the locked, quarantined container and GPG encryption is applied "on the fly" as the file is written to its destination folder. As part of the file upload process, if a file requires post-processing, the file is initially placed into a locked and quarantined container, instead of into its destination folder. GPG is performed as a post-processing step after upload.
