Volume Encryption Overview
The
Volumes page
lists both the encrypted and unencrypted volumes and lets
you create a volume, and lock, unlock, or change the password for
encrypted volumes.
NOTE
File transfer performance to encrypted volumes is generally lower than non-
encrypted volumes.
Locking an Encrypted Volume
You can manually lock an encrypted volume at any time. Locking a volume means
that it becomes unmounted and is unusable (you cannot create or use shares
stored on the locked volume). This provides an extra layer of security against the
theft of data.
