Step 5

In the following screen you can specify the encryption options. You can enter your own password, but we recommend to tap Generate Password to let PhotoSync create a unique password for you. By default PhotoSync will request biometric authentication (FaceID / TouchID), when you want to access encrypted photos & videos or the encryption settings. When you disable "FaceID / TouchID", you can supply your own passcode. When you are finished, tap the Save button.

Step 6

The encryption configuration has now been saved and all photos & videos will in future be encrypted before being sent to this target. We strongly recommend to tap Download Configuration now to save the encryption configuration (password, settings) to the Files App.
