EncryptDrop Free Edition for Windows

Used EncryptDrop Free Edition for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffJuly 30, 2026

Despite some minor omissions, this easy-to-use encryption utility provides all the necessary tools to handle basic encryption chores. EncryptDrop Free Edition's skinnable interface lets you conveniently drag and drop files directly into the queue. The program rapidly encrypts multiple files simultaneously and can encrypt folders, too. You can be confident your files are safe since it employs the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm, though it would be nice to have alternatives. EncryptDrop Free Edition draws out some other decent security measures. It can automatically erase originals or overwrite them after encryption, and, of course, it password-protects the encrypted files. The disappointment here is that the application itself isn't password-protected. We also wish it offered self-decryption in case you'd like to send locked files to other people. Although this freeware isn't exactly a powerhouse, it has enough going for it to be useful to a wide range of users.

simple but not the best encrypt softwear
EmmaJBrowningJanuary 16, 2011
Pros
just drag and drop your documents not files ! add a password simple
Cons
can't drag a file ; you have to keep a back up file as when you click on your documents you can't open it to do more work on the document in the file that's attached to it where it's all stored when you click is not password protected
Summary
ideal for someone who knows nothing about encryption<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jan 16, 2011<p/>complete and utter rubbish don't waste your time

Pros
I'm not an encryption expert, but it seems to do the job. FREE
Cons
I would like to see more algorithms to use. Assuming that the program implemented them properly, this would be the best there is.
