Instructions manual (encrypting, v1.1.0)

Here's a step-by-step manual to encrypt a file with GoFileEncoder (version 1.1.0)

If you have an older version, or just don't have GoFileEncoder, you should get or update GoFileEncoder; get the latest release here.

Note

The manual is made for English speakers, so the user interface is in English. If you speak another language, the steps are the same - just the text changes. Get translations here.
