7/3/2023 0 Comments Password folder macIf someone got ahold of my Mac, they still couldn’t read any of my sensitive data. I use just such a password protected virtual drive “folder” to save copies of my legal documents and tax returns and various spreadsheets in an encrypted folder on my own Mac system. Sounds complicated, but it’s pretty easy and pretty cool both. On a Mac, for example, you’re really creating a new virtual disk so it’s going to behave exactly as an external USB flash drive or hard disk would, except it’s always on your Mac hard disk itself. That’s true across all operating systems, but it’s handy to know which is which. The answer is always that it’s hard to just slap a password on a folder but easy to create a new password protected entity that can contain as many files, folders, documents, photos and data as you’d like. Every few months I get a question like this, either relating to Windows, MacOS or, sporadically, a Linux system.
