Linux – How to access a BitLocker-encrypted drive in Linux

If you add another windows PC, which will probably have to be the Server version or you will have a 10 user max.

Then attach all the hard drive(s) to the PC turn on Bitlocker and encrypt your hard drive(s). Now you can use windows file sharing to share the storage across your network.

You might (as I have never tested it) be able to do something similar with dislocker which a provided a link for linux in the comments.

However, you will not be prompted for a Bitlocker password. The drives will be encypted with BitLocker.

You should check back with your IT department because as long as the drives are encrypted with Bitlocker that should be enough to satisfy them. Unless they have a separate problem with file sharing. Obviously, the file share should be password protected, but even then it is not a Bitlocker encryption password.
