Encrypt Files with PGP

Description

Encrypt Files with PGP encrypts files using PGP encryption through the GnuPG (GPG) utility. Use this process entry when your process needs to protect files before transmission or storage — for example, encrypting output files before uploading them to a partner's FTP server or securing sensitive data exports for compliance. It supports encrypting multiple files, including subfolder contents, with automated destination folder management.
