'''Filesystem-level encryption''', often called [['''file/folder encryption]]''', is a form of [[disk encryption]] where individual files or directories are [[encryption|encrypted]] by the [[file system]] itself.

This is in contrast to [[full disk encryption]] where the entire partition or disk, in which the file system resides, is encrypted.
