Does exactly what I needed
peterpan2323- Pros
- It was easy to use and did exactly what I expected.
- Cons
- Some helpful options are hidden in preferences.
- Summary
- Strong app, if you need simple file encryption then this will work great
Disappointed
veggiehead13- Pros
- Locks files nicely. Seems fairly secure. Quick install.
- Cons
- Hate that you have make a new file every time you encrypt and decrypt.
- Summary
- I was very disappointed. As one of the few file locking apps for Mac, I did not expect anything terribly exceptional. However, having to create new files every time you do anything with the file. I encrypted a document I was working on. Poof, new file. (I must admit that encrypting files is as simple as drag and drop, which is nice.) I go to work on the encrypted file later, enter my password, and poof, an additional file. Now, this does not seem to be very safe because you are bound to either forget to delete a file or forget to empty your trashcan. Both of these seems to be very annoying and cause your security to depend on if you remember to delete the fifteen files that were created. Could have been good, but I guess I'll just have to settle for my files being wide open to the world because this just isn't worth it.
