Why can't an advanced folder have an encryption key?


Recommended Posts

@gabled-bravado-dell These 3 types of folders - standard, advanced and encrypted are all different in core and are designed for different usages. Main advantage of advanced folder is ability to grant and revoke access - which is useful when collaborating. Encrypted folder are more for personal usage - you are sharing your own data to yourself and to some 3rd party which you definitely do not trust. There is no point in revoking access from yourself or from 3rd party which (when got the proper key) does not has any access anyway.

From CPU load POV advanced folders are rather heavy, as well as encrypted folders are. Adding encryption to advanced folders going to make it really slow and consuming for desktop computers and unbearable for mobile devices.
