Filevault and the Google Drive application
Hello, I have a question about filevault and have tried to search through google to find an answer and could not.
I have not used filevault as I did not want to take the risk of encrypting my google drive files and not being able to access them on my windows machine or even my iphone with the google drive app.
I have google drive installed on my MacBook Pro and it syncs all of my files and every change that happens right on my hard drive with my google drive.
I was wondering, if I turned on filevault, is there any way that I could exclude it from encrypting my google drive folder or any folder in general?
Does it have to encrypt the entire hard drive? The problem would be that it would encrypt my google drive files and would make them unusable on my other machines for even basic things like pictures and music files since it would sync the encrypted changes and I do not want that to happen.
Thanks for any response/help!
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
