What is file system encryption?

file system encryption is what we often call EFS encryption.

EFS encryption provides a core file encryption technology, which is used to store encrypted files on NTFS file system volumes. Once the files or folders are encrypted, you can use them just like other files and folders.

But there are some disadvantages in EFS encryption:

1. If the encryption certificate is not backed up before reinstalling the system, the files in the EFS encrypted folder will not be opened after reinstalling the system.

2. If the certificate is lost, the files in the folder encrypted by EFS cannot be opened.

3. If there is an error in the system, even if there is an encryption certificate, the files in the folder encrypted by EFS may be garbled after opening.

Therefore, it is recommended that you use professional file encryption software to encrypt files, among which Super Encryption 3 is a good choice for us to encrypt files because of its simple operation and good encryption effect.
