FAQ

What limitations should I know?

Output uses standard open passwords, not a custom AES zip.

When might it fail?

Files that already have an open password fail; unlock them first.

What else should I watch for?

Temp files clear in about 10 minutes; health check: /api/docencrypt-health.php.

Any other important notes?

Changing the password only affects new uploads; finished items keep the password used when they completed.
