What happens to encrypted files if I move or copy them off of my computer?

Moving or copying files to removable media like removable hard drives, USB thumb drives and CD/DVD media will normally remove the encryption properties of the files. Files encrypted on removable media will only be readable by the host that initially created the files. You should exercise caution when using encryption on removable media.
