[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1627806, member: 204485"] Call me paranoid but I'm a little bit wary of using other developers apps to encrypt data. I fear that the app might crash or become incompatible for some reason not to mention paying for it (I admit to being a bit of a tightwad). Creating an encrypted .dmg (Disk Image) has worked very well for me. When opened it mounts on the desktop like a Disk Drive, you can drag files into and out of it and open it just like a standard Finder window. No frills but native and very reliable.;) [/QUOTE]
