How does encryption file work?
EFS works by encrypting a file with a bulk symmetric key, also known as the File Encryption Key, or FEK.

But If I encrypt just the ‘Share A’ directory on my File Server, not the entire disk, does the data still appear encrypted at rest and in transit for non-authorized users even when authorized users are accessing it over the network 24/7? If this is the case what is the best way to implement File Share encryption on a Domain Windows Server?
