Folder Management FAQs
NOTE: To use the Manage Folders option, you may need to request permission from your Administrator.
Question
I have a folder with files that I have shared with another user. In the system tray, I used the Cloud Edition > Manage
Folders utility to unprotect that folder's contents. Recently, my files have become encrypted in the cloud again. That
folder no longer displays in the Manage Folders utility, so I can no longer get those files to become unprotected in the
cloud.
Answer
An encryption key ID is associated with a folder based on the first user who adds a file to that folder. If one user creates a
folder and does not add any files, their key is not associated with that folder. The user whose encryption key ID has been
set on the folder is the only one who can view the folder in the Manage Folders utility. If the user who sees the folder
deselects the folder in the Manage Folders utility and they share that folder with another DDP|CE user, the second user’s
DDP|CE will re-encrypt the contents.
Solution
1
Create a new folder.
2
Move all the files to be protected to the new folder.
3 In the system tray, use the Cloud Edition > Manage Folders
utility again to decrypt those files.
NOTE: If you unprotect the contents of a folder that are shared with other users who have DDP|CE, the other user’s DDP|CE will enforce
the policy to encrypt them. You can use the Manage Folders utility to unprotect files that are unshared with other DDP|CE users.
The best practice is to unprotect only unshared folders.
Question
I am syncing to a decrypted folder that I had deselected using the Manage Folders
utility
. However, when I try to upload it
through the web browser, I can only upload encrypted files.
Answer
DDP|CE is not designed to actively search for folders in the cloud. With unencrypted folders, DDP|CE can sync through
the sync client because it is controlling that environment. Files going through the web browser are required to be
protected.
Solution
Add files to the sync folder.
Question
I recently uninstalled my cloud-based file sharing system (Dropbox, Box, or OneDrive) from my computer, but when I
opened the Manage Folders utility, Dropbox was still listed as an option.
Answer
DDP|CE does not monitor installation or uninstallation of third-party software. Those options are still listed because, by
design, when these clients are uninstalled, they do not remove your existing files. Those files are still being protected by
DDP|CE even though that sync client is no longer there.
