  • Hi  

    If you are referring to discover, we call it Initial encryption. 

    After a File Encryption policy has been assigned to your computer, existing files in the locations covered by the encryption policy are not encrypted automatically. An initial encryption has to be performed.

    We recommend that you perform this initial encryption as soon as your computer receives a File Encryption policy although your security officer may automatically initiate this encryption task. This is to ensure that your data is encrypted according to the policy as soon as possible after you received a File Encryption policy.

    Please refer to the article Encrypt according to policy.

    If there is a file already encrypted, SGN client will detect and jump to the next file. You may also check the article Location-based File Encryption. Let me know if this helps resolve your query.

  • Thanks Haridoss for your answer,

    So, Synchronized-Encrytion can not do that. And, I need choose Location-based FE to initial encryption
