Which of our tools is giving you problems? GPG Suite

I just don't understand how to decrypt files using your tools. Can't find anything on your site. Is this possible with your tools?

Describe your problem. Add as much detail as possible.

I have public key which I have exchange with our Partner. They will encrypt using my public key and send via SFTP. I need to decrypt that file.

Also, I have their key and need to encrypt files using their public key

Are you using any other Mail.app plugins? No

   Hi Peter,

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

   The following two Knowledge Base articles explain how GPG Services is used:

   • KB explaining how to encrypt and sign text or files
   • KB explaining decryption and verification

   Let me know if that worked as expected.

   All the best,
   Steve
