- soulofmischief 2y agoYou generally shouldn't. But data at rest is different from data in transit in that you are vulnerable to a MITM with data in transit. Who cares if you're saving an encrypted file or not, if you can't trust that it's the same file that you intended to access.
- frizlab 2y agoSaving unencrypted data at rest is not possible anymore on macOS. Even though it may appear as unencrypted, it is always encrypted.
- archerx 2y agoBecause I still want access to my files if there is a catastrophic system failure?
