Remove Enterprise data protection encryption from a file
If your organization uses Enterprise data protection, some of your files may be encrypted to protect them from prying eyes. Encryption scrambles the data in your files so that only you or others in your organization can look at them.
Sometimes you may be stopped from opening an encrypted file with an app because that app isn’t managed by your organization.
Some organizations allow users to remove their encryption manually. To unencrypt a file your organization has encrypted, press and hold (or right-click) the file and select Encrypt to > Don’t encrypt.
