I would absolutely love this as a native OS feature, but only for local storage.
I'm old-school that way.
What about "FileVault"? I've never used it but isn't it encrypted data?

You missed the point. We already have encryption on the mac. Its called FileVault.
This is exactly the same, but it uploads it to the cloud...something you would NEVER want with your financial data.
No, it did not do what is claimed in this patent application. Read it before making comments.

What is actually claimed in the pre-grant publication is really irrelevant. It's what's claimed in the patent, should one actually issue for this application, that matters.Maybe you should read before you comment too...
I answered to this:
"The idea of encrypting files/folders is not old, however I don't know of other OSes which have this option. The benefit is not of the idea itself...it's in the tight integration with the OS."
not the patent application.
In Win2000 you could encrypt files/folders, and it was native and built in-to the OS. Again, you should understand the context before coming with comments like yours.
another patented Apple patent on junk that has already been developed and employed. Way to go that extra mile and be innovative, Apple.
