Opening one or several encrypted files

To open one or several encrypted files:

• Select the file(s) and press Enter.

- or -

• Select the file(s), then select Stormshield Data Security > Open from the pop-up menu:

Depending on the format of the encrypted files (extension .sdsx or .sbox) the next step differs:

• For files with the extension .sdsx, the content of the encrypted files appears in the corresponding application. Files remain encrypted.

• For files with the extension .sbox, protection has been removed, and files will be opened in the corresponding application. They must be encrypted again after being closed.

NOTE
If the Force conversion of .sbox files to .sdsx format option in the security policy is enabled, files with the .sbox extension are automatically converted to .sdsx format when you open them. For further information, see Configuring Stormshield Data File in the Administration Guide.
Furthermore, in this case it is not possible to open several files with both extensions simultaneously.
