Title:
No option to encrypt files individually
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
During install of Ubuntu, I am always offered the option to encrypt my
entire home folder, but I don't need to or desire to encrypt
everything, especially if I am not going to remember where I put the
encryption passphrase I'm supposed to print out, plus even if my home
folder IS encrypted, that doesn't encrypt the files I send via email
or IM to anyone.
What would I recommend? Keep the option to encrypt your home folder at
install, but also add the option to encrypt any file you desire,
essentially password-protect any file I want simply by right-clicking
on it and clicking "encrypt", without having to go through the whole
.zip process, which not all devices are compatible with.
Allowing the user to encrypt his or her own files on-demand allows
more control the user can do to protect his or her assets, even when
that file may be send over the web, something that isn't available now
unless the person compresses it into a .zip, .tar.gz, etc file that
all computers aren't compatible with.
