Files can be protected by placing them inside a Windows folder. Such a folder is known as a Hot Folder. Files created, saved, or placed inside this folder will get protected instantly.
The Hot Folder is pre-configured with file permissions and a File Owner. These permissions are applied on every file protected with this Hot Folder.
The file will now remain protected even when it is copied or moved out of the Hot Folder.
No Seclore software is required to protect files with this method. However, Seclore agents are still required to access and work on protected files. See Accessing Protected Files for more details.
