Looking for method to encrypt single files

[mcsolas]

I used to use an app called Axcrypt on windows. I am looking for a new workflow that allows you to quickly encrypt the file, ideally by right clicking it and having a choice to do that from the menu.

I was using Axcrypt on Windows too, but I have failed to find anything similar on Mac, so I now use an encrypted disk image on Mac and drag files into the encrypted drive instead, works well.🙂

Interesting. I want to encrypt one file per folder. which works good but having it all in one place could be functional, although there is quite a few folders to go through. I will post if I find anything.

yea mac doesnt have much for that. so i had to make an encrypted disc then chage the icon to a folder as well. sucks

PGP desktop for Mac.....

can let do you exactly that: Encript a file with a click. Also permanently delete files. But you have to find what version works for you, configure it and use it in trial mode.....

Look promising although I can't figure out how much it would cost to register. Symantec wanted me to buy it from some partner..

If it ain't free, why bother when there are free alternatives 😀

Been searching around and came across MySafe - http://mysafe.co/

Anyone heard of this one? Going to try it out I think, it looks promising.

Do not know much about it...never used it...though it is from the same company that makes 1Password so I would take a look here https://agilebits.com/knox

This was recently suggested to me in another thread, it looks very interesting and is the first free solution that I have seen that seems to be cross platform. www.truecrypt.org

I ended up learning how to make an encrypted drive using disk utility for the time being.

You can use....

PGP desktop for free. Only in trial mode and with a license code you have to get from Symantec....🙄
