Encrypted Files on Desktop #139

Open Diodeeric opened 6 months ago

Diodeeric commented 6 months ago

Protect files on computer. This feature parallels the PIN code lock and ability to access / launch files via Diode if a device is compromised. Although iOS and Android are already encrypted on device through the app, many users have been asking about protection and encryption of the files on desktop.

Ideas:

  1. Hidden file folders (loaded only via Diode a file/folder launcher)
  2. Protect / encrypt files at rest
  3. Access files only via Diode (authorized zone keys) - could be problematic if a file is shared via an email attachment

In this case, the file would have to be replicated / saved-as before sharing it via another mechanism (like email).

For full "disk" level encryption, each platform will require its own approach and likely interaction from the user.

For example:
