    • Settings: Manage account settings, preferences, and security options.
       
  • The layout is designed for easy navigation, allowing quick access to your secure files and settings.

3. Create a Tresor (Secure Folder)
  • Tresors are secure, encrypted folders where your files are stored.
  • To create a new Tresor:
     
    •  
    • In the Tresorit interface, click the "Create Tresor" button.
       
    • Give the Tresor a name and select a location on your computer or in the cloud.
       
    • Click "Create" to set up the Tresor.
       
  • Once created, you can drag and drop files into the Tresor to encrypt them automatically.

4. Upload Files to a Tresor
  • Tresorit automatically encrypts files uploaded to a Tresor.
  • To upload files:
     
    •  
    • Open the Tresor where you want to store the files.
       
    • Click "Upload" or simply drag and drop files into the Tresor.
       
  • Once uploaded, the files will be encrypted and stored securely in the Tresor. You can access them from any device with Tresorit installed.

5. Sync Files Across Devices
  • Tresorit allows you to sync your files across multiple devices, ensuring you have access to them wherever you go.
  • To sync files:
     
    •  
    • Ensure that Tresorit is installed and logged in on all your devices.
       
    • Create a Tresor or select an existing one, and enable the "Sync" option.
       
  • Files in synced Tresors will automatically update across all devices whenever changes are made.

6. Share Tresors or Files Securely
  • Tresorit enables you to securely share entire Tresors or individual files with others.
  • To share a Tresor:
     
    •  
    • Right-click the Tresor you want to share and select "Share".
       
    • Enter the email address of the recipient.
       
    • Choose the permissions (e.g., read-only, editor) for the recipient and click "Send Invitation".
       
  • To share an individual file:
     
    •  
    • Open the Tresor containing the file.
       
    • Right-click the file and select "Share Link".
       
    • Set the expiration date, password, and access level for the link, then click "Create Link".
       
  • Sharing via Tresorit ensures that recipients must have the correct permissions or password to access the shared content.

7. Manage Shared Files
  • You can manage the files and folders you’ve shared by adjusting permissions or revoking access.
  • To manage shared files:
     
    •  
    • Go to the "Shared Items" section in the Tresorit interface.
       
    • Click on the file or folder you shared to view details and adjust permissions (e.g., revoke access, change editor status).
       
  • Tresorit allows you to retain full control over who can access, edit, or view your shared files.

8. Set Up End-to-End Encryption
  • Tresorit uses end-to-end encryption to protect your files, ensuring they are encrypted before they leave your device.
  • To enable end-to-end encryption:
     
    •  
    • When you create or upload a file to a Tresor, encryption is applied automatically.
       
  • Only you and those you have authorized to access your Tresors will have the keys needed to decrypt and view the files.

9. Recover Deleted Files
  • Tresorit allows you to recover deleted files within a certain timeframe.
  • To recover a deleted file:
     
    •  
    • Go to the Tresor where the file was stored.
       
    • Click on the "Deleted Items" tab and locate the file.
       
    • Right-click the file and select "Restore" to recover it.
       
  • This feature is useful for accidentally deleted files and can help protect your data from permanent loss.

10. Use Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
  • Tresorit supports two-factor authentication (2FA) for an additional layer of security.
  • To enable 2FA:
     
    •  
    • Log into your Tresorit account.
       
    • Go to the "Settings" menu and select "Security".
       
    • Enable 2FA and link your account with a mobile authentication app (e.g., Google Authenticator).
       
  • Once enabled, you’ll need to enter both your password and a verification code from the 2FA app to access your Tresorit account.

11. Set Expiry and Password Protection for Shared Links
  • For added security, Tresorit allows you to set expiration dates and passwords for shared file links.
  • To set expiry or password protection:
     
    •  
    • When creating a shared link, select "Link Settings".
       
    • Set the expiration date and create a password for the link.
       
  • This ensures that your shared content is only accessible for a limited time or to those who have the correct password.

12. Generate Activity Reports
  • Tresorit allows you to track activity and generate reports on file access, modifications, and shares.
  • To generate an activity report:
     
    •  
    • Go to the "Reports" section in the interface.
       
    • Choose the type of report you want to generate (e.g., file activity, user access).
