Downloading encrypted files

You can download an encrypted file in decrypted format to locally read or edit it. The file remains encrypted on the server.

How to download an encrypted file:

In the Drive app, select an encrypted file in the display area. Click the View icon in the toolbar.
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.

In the Guard Default Settings section of the Guard settings, you can define a default value for the time range.
Click the More actions icon in the Viewer. Click on Download Decrypted.

Note: If you click on Download in the toolbar or context menu, the downloaded file remains encrypted.
