Encrypting File System
ShareFile data downloaded via Drive Mapper is cached to the local disk of the user’s computer. The persistence of this data will vary depending on usage and settings for cache handling. Drive Mapper will encrypt the data on the local disk by default, unless disabled via policy.
There are two methods which may be used to encrypt the cached files on disk. The default method is to use the built in Windows Encrypting File System (EFS). The below prompt will appear for customers that recently upgraded to v3.4.110.0 or later.

If EFS is not available, Drive Mapper will use its own encryption method to protect the files and no action is required from the user end.
Note Regarding Drive Mapper and Antivirus Programs
Antivirus scans of the Drive Mapper file location can generate unwanted download notifications, depending on your notification settings.
