Decrypting files

You can remove a file's encryption by decrypting the file.

How to decrypt a file:

  2. Use one of the following methods:

    • Click the Actions icon in the toolbar. Click on Remove Encryption.

    • Select Remove Encryption from the context menu.

  3. Enter your Guard security password in the Password required window.

    You can define how long the security password should be remembered by Guard. To do so, select a time range in Ask for password again.
