DriveLock File Protection For Mac

DriveLock File Protection proposes a simple solution for maintaining your files and folders safe from prying eyes: the app is using the AES-256 algorithm to encrypt the data. The encrypted archives can be stored in the cloud, so you can share them with others in a secure manner.

Finding you way around the DriveLock File Protection app is quite intuitive: start by creating an encrypted folder, and then drag and drop the files and folders you want to encrypt on top of the app’s main window. The reverse is also applicable: you can drag and drop encrypted archives to open them.

Of course, when creating the encrypted folder, you must provide a password, an user name, and a display name. Moreover, you get to adjust the encryption settings: you can switch between the AES 256, Triple DES, and IDEA encryption algorithms. You get to choose the Password hash algorithm: SHA-2 256, SHA-2 512, Whirlpool, SHA-1, or RIPEMD-160.

DriveLock File Protection is encrypting each file individually, which means than if you place them in the cloud, the synchronization process will be necessary only for the modified files. Of course, you can also choose to transfer the encrypted archives using other methods.

To conclude, if you are looking for a fairly easy to use application to help you encrypt files and folders without too much trouble, DriveLock File Protection might just be the answer you look for.

However, it is also important to note that the original documents are not altered and will remain unprotected on your disk: DriveLock File Protection encrypts only the imported data, not the source files.
