A big part of that security environment is file encryption.<\/p>\n At its most basic, file encryption converts messages or files into unreadable code through algorithms that scramble the data<\/strong>.<\/p>\n But really, file sharing encryption is no different from any other form of data encryption.<\/span><\/p>\n A file is just data. And data encryption follows the same basic principles whether you send a large video<\/a>, your banking information, or an email<\/a>.<\/p>\n The end goal is the safe and secure transmission of information over the internet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n For the purposes of this post, I\u2019ll stick to \u2018file sharing encryption\u2019 just to keep things simple and explain \u2014 what is it exactly?
