Lee,

I have always been afraid I would lose my key or logon info…then I am in deep 
trouble…if I get the nerve will turning FileVault on encrypt all 4 of the 
drives on my MacPro?  If the data is encrypted will it have to be unencrypted 
to be used, (done on the fly?) and can I put the encrypted file in my iCloud 
drive and DropBox and then when moved to another machine the files can be used?

Thanks for a little more help.

John
