# How to encrypt files

**Step 1: Create or Open a Share Link**

* **Option 1**: Create a new share link with edit access from any supported cloud provider.
* **Option 2**: Open an **existing share link** with edit access in your browser.

**Step 2: Upload the File**

* Locate the **Upload** button at the top right of the shared link page.
* Click the button and upload the file you wish to encrypt.
* **Alternative Option**: If you’re unsure how to upload a file, refer to [How to Upload a File](/fenixpyre-for-recipients/fenixpyre-sharing-guide/how-to-upload-files-to-a-fenixpyre-shared-link.md).
