AbeChallahQ: Does Icedrive handle the use case where data needs to be encrypted (e.
g. contains sensitive information)?

If you use the encrypted section, your data will all be encrypted client-side, with zero knowledge encryption, making everything nice and secure!
Love this answer :)

But then how will client decrypt the data. Do I need to send them some key or simple sharing of file is enough.
Thanks

Can you please clarify the encryption part? Running a test account, it shows 2 folders - My IceDrive and Encrypted.
Does this mean that everything has to go into Encrypted folder to be encrypted and "My IceDrive" folder is not encrypted by default?
Depending on the answer above, it seems to suggest that I need to install the app on the machine to have things encrypted (as notes that it is client side). Does this mean that if I use web app/portal only (without installing the machine because do not want to use a hot drive) files are not encrypted even if uploaded to "Encrypted" folder?
