Hello Shelley,

I’m not sure I fully understand the question, but AxCrypt will essentially encrypt anything that is a file on your computer. You can always try also, and ask when something is not working as you expect.

So, I have multiple Google drive accounts, and the Google desktop app only allows me to access one of them. The other ones are only accessible online. I’m thinking I can’t encrypt those other accounts unless I download the files, encrypt them, and re-upload?

Hello Shelley,

Well, it depends. In principle, yes. AxCrypt works on files that are accessible on your local computer. I’m not quite sure how Google works with different accounts in the same computer, but if you can get the Google desktop app to synchronize them, you can then encrypt them with AxCrypt.

Otherwise, as you say, download them, encrypt them, delete them on Drive and upload them.

In any case, when doing things like this, do ensure good backups!
