Policy CSP - ADMX_EncryptFilesonMove
Tip
This CSP contains ADMX-backed policies which require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For details, see Understanding ADMX-backed policies.
The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see CDATA Sections.

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/ADMX_EncryptFilesonMove/NoEncryptOnMove
This policy setting prevents File Explorer from encrypting files that are moved to an encrypted folder.
If you enable this policy setting, File Explorer won't automatically encrypt files that are moved to an encrypted folder.
If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, File Explorer automatically encrypts files that are moved to an encrypted folder.
This setting applies only to files moved within a volume. When files are moved to other volumes, or if you create a new file in an encrypted folder, File Explorer encrypts those files automatically.
