How to exclude some file types for encryption. (e.g. .xls, .ppt)

Hi Alan,
It is not possible to exclude a specific type of file in Safeguard Encryption however, you can exclude an application or folder. I suggest that you do the following:
1) Create a new folder
2) add the files you want to be excluded into the new folder
3)create an exclusion for the new folder via policy

Hi Haridoss,
Thanks for your suggestion. I try to enable the policy but seem not function even I put it to high priority.
Can "File Encryption" policy override "Device Protection" policy?
