    I am using SEE and it appears to be working to some degree, but....

    I am creating a procedure for users to effectively use SEE. These users will be receiving external storage drives to be connected via USB to their laptop. And in writing the procedure, I have numerous questions. I have one main question (which has spawned a lesser 2nd question)

    Firstly, I have tested all the options regarding using default password,using a password each time I copy a file, using session passwords etc. The common theme is that the files are not encrypted when they are copied off of the drive. And in 1 case I attached a test.pst file into an email. The dialog box asked for a password to decrypt. This popped up 3 times and I canceled this request 3 times. The .pst still attached to the email anyway and was sent off and was readable by a different user on a different PC.

    Similarly, files that I saved to the 'MyBook' were no longer "password protected" when I  emailed them to another. Nor were they "protected" when I  placed them on a network share. So, what am I missing?

     

    Attached is a pic of my version.

     

    Thanks.

    We decided  to use certificate encryption. Too many variables with password encryption.
