By default, Anchor only allows you to open Anchored files inside protected folders. Protected folders are configured in the Anchor admin dashboard. You can also configure protected folders on an individual computer locally. If an Anchored file is in a non-protected folder, you cannot open it. This default behavior applies to files Anchored by Anchor-by-Process (AxP) applications. You can, however, override this behavior and allow users to open any file using the appropriate AxP process from any folder. Doing so allows users to use Anchor seamlessly.
