opening a zip.gpg file
Which of our tools is giving you problems? Decrypting a gpg file.
Attach a screenshot of the version info for all installed components (how to: https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/faq/where-can-i-find-version-info...): I just installed your program today.
Describe your problem. Add as much detail as possible. I have a large gpg file (296GB) that I need to decrypt and open. The file name looks like this: 19227525_Production_1903261218.zip.gpg.
I followed the steps from your website but what was created looks like this: 19227525_Production_1903261218.zip.gpg_gpg(goN).tmp and I can't open it.
What did you expect instead To be able to open the decrypted file.
Describe steps leading to the problem. I followed the steps from your website on how to decrypt a file.

Hi Casey,
GPG Services is not really the right fit for files of this size. We do show a warning when users try to encrypt files larger than a certain limit, 150MB if I recall correctly.
Are you certain the encrypted file is intact? Have you managed to decrypt it before?
I would suggest to try decrypting the file using the command line
And make sure to allow a long time for this to finish. Although it's really hard to say if it will be successful. That file size is huge. A tool like VeraCrypt is probably more suitable for that use-case.
All the best,
Steve
