Locked digital folders?

UPDATE: Just unzipped some of Kristin's kits and then copied over to a portable drive....it all worked fine (and a copy of the zipped files are on dropbox now for safe keeping). 7-zip unzipped without the encryption key that destroyed my other files. Still wasn't able to unzip or open the old damaged files but that's ok b/c I was able to re-download most of them....so whew....things are looking up. Maybe now I can go get started on my next summer getaway challenge.

Again....thx everyone...you are all awesome for helping and letting me vent :)
 
I'm so confused about the encryption that you talk of. I am using Windows 10 now, but I've used Windows and Mac for the past several years and even moving files back and forth I've never had any issues. I hope it was just a freak thing for you! I'm glad you were able to retrieve a lot of kits.
 
I've had it happen to me, too, when I've switched operating systems with a new laptop. It has really only happened to kits that were made using a MAC. There is a box that has to be checked in the properties but you have to do it on the older operating system and then transfer the files to the new operating system. It worked on some and not on others. So frustrating!

While I want to say Thank you for this info, I have to admit it also makes me nervous. Before Rae's post, I had no idea this could be a problem. Now I feel like I have to go through my supplies and make sure this box is checked on everything!
