ℹ️
These instructions show you how to decrypt a Confidencial-protected file. Individual files that are protected with Confidencial’s desktop or web app (and are not natively-supported) typically ends with a “.c11” file extension, while a file bundle (that contains multiple Confidencial-protected files) typically ends with a “.c11.zip” extension.
