Mac App to Encrypt and or Password Protect Folders and Files

[ryan101]

Hi Guys,

I am looking for a good App to hide or password protect folders and files on Mac. I was wondering if there is any that anyone has used or recommends?

This is not anything high level or highly classified. At the same time I don't want to pay for something that's useless. It's just company info that I don't want others getting access to.

So far I have found "Hider 2" which seems interesting.

Thanks.

Why not use the built-in Encrypted container capability?

I'm considering moving my Truecrypt volume to one.

I use Filevault for encryption on both drives, that and a firmware password, login password and Keycard (to enforce my iPhone has to be close).

Are you concerned about physical access or remote against which you want the files unreadable?

I am concerned about physical access.

Several scenario's:

a) stepped away from my desk for 2 minutes and someone decides to copy my files because I forgot to lock it, although I am pretty careful.

b) someone takes my HD out of my machine and copies the data.

c) I used to have an external USB HD attached to my machine before, as I used to do regular time machine backup. I no longer have a device permanently attached, and I also now encrypt backups.

I work in a technical environment, so IT people. Most could do board level repairs, plus data extraction from drives that have been wiped hence why I am trying to be a bit more careful than normal. To make matters worse, I am in charge
