Create a group in GPG Keychain?

Hi,

I'm new to GPG Tools and am using it with a MacBook Pro with El Capitan. I like it, but I have one question/problem:

I have 157 keys in the GPG Keychain. On occasion, I need to encrypt a file--usually a Word, Excel or PDF file--to a specific group of people from the 157. Let's say Group A has 30 people in it, and I need to encrypt a file to that group. Is it possible to create such a group in GPG Keychain so I don't have to pick and choose the 30 people every time I need to encrypt a file for them? Another way would be to create multiple key chains. That's how I used to do it with Symantec Desktop Encryption, where I could choose to create a new keychain, call it Group A and put into it the 30 keys I need and use that keychain when I need to encrypt to those keys. Is that possible with GPG Keychain?

Thanks,
Amir

   Hey Amir,

   welcome to the GPGTools community support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.

   This KB-article explains how to use the group feature to encrypt content to multiple public keys by using a single address.

   Let me know if that did the trick.

   All the best,
   steve
