After you created the encrypted volume, you need to mount it. First, we need to select the volume. So, click on the _Select File_ option.

===Mounting the volume===

In this screen, you have to enter the password you used for your encryption. If you encrypted this container with a keyfile, specify it here too. As you remember, I created the key file, so I will mark the _Use keyfiles_ option and add the _keyfile_.

===Selecting the keyfile===

After that, the volume should mount to the `/media` folder.

The volume has been successfully mounted

You can see that it is mounted as `/media/veracrypt1` in the _Mount Directory_ column. So, open the file manager and go to `/media/veracrypt1`.

And there is the encrypted volume. You can copy all the files you want to encrypt to this _veracrypt1_ folder.
