Anyone know of any good apps to password protect folders/files

[kylecib123]

Unfortunately there are times when i need to share my desktop with people at work.
I don't necessarily need the files to be "hidden"....just unopenable without password. these files are primarily excel files with employee records/sensitive business records (nothing life or death, just would rather keep prying eyes away)
If it makes it easier, i could throw all of these files in a single folder and just password protect the folder.

Any suggestions?

Set up a guest account and share a folder using fast user switching.

u can just use the disk utility,create a new blank disk image,
of course you can choose the image size u want,
copy the file you want hide into the image~
and never remember password in the keychain~

cool, thanks for all of the advise. probably a safe bet to just use the disk utility first, give it a try and then maybe try the others

If you make the disk image 'sparse' it will only take up the actual amount of data that you have stored in there, rather than being the size you specify at the start. Just a hint.

Wow. Thanks for that tip. I didn't know that. Now I do.

A little off topic... but how bout a good (free) application that can apply tints to photos?
