Feature Request :

Reported by keithiok...@gmail.com, Jan 16 (6 days ago)

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.98 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
As ChromeOS is making great strides in its effort to become the worthy successor to Android on Tablets, it is important that as many security features as possible are brought over, specifically encryption. ChromeOS devices are also seeing rapid adoption in corporate environments who need the best when it comes to security. 

Feature Request to allow the encryption of external storage and MicroSD Cards (on devices with MicroSD Card Support). 

It is not abnormal for corporate users specifically to store potentially sensitive information on their devices. 

What is the expected behavior?
This should be done in similarly to Android and be transparent to the end user and applications

What went wrong?
Currently there is no support for this. 

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version:   Channel: stable
OS Version: 
Flash Version:

The title of this should be "Feature Request : Support encryption of External Media", would someone mind editing that for me?

Hi,

I am going to duplicate this on the existing bug for adding encryption support for external media. If you'd like to it would be good to add your use case to that bug. eg do you need to use the encrypted device between different OS's, so need something like bitlocker or veracrypt support, or do you just need to use it with chrome OS so LUKS + ext4 would be good enough?

Cheers,
Stuart
