Maxtor Encryption
What is Encryption?
Encryption modifies a file, using a secret code, so that it is unreadable until
you unlock (or decrypt) it by entering a special password.
Encryption is the easiest way to prevent other people from opening your
confidential files. You can encrypt a file directly from your desktop or from
an Explorer window; you don't have to open the EasyManage software in
order to use this feature.
Maxtor Encryption Characteristics
– The encryption feature is not physically part of the EasyManage
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 file.
– 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.
