      When a user wants to ship an app with an encrypted Realm file containing data, it would be nice to be able to save data from the browser into a Realm file with encryption enabled. Currently only saving to a non-encrypted Realm file is possible.

      Describe the solution you'd like

      Add another option to the "File" → "Save data" menu labeled "Encrypted Local Realm" which would prompt the user to enter an encryption key.

      Describe alternatives you've considered

      Users can manually load the Realmfile into the Realm JS SDK and use the writeCopyTo API: https://realm.io/docs/javascript/latest/api/Realm.html#writeCopyTo
