In the network era, file transmission and preservation become very convenient, which inevitably meets some problems that we need to protect some important files. So, how to encrypt folders? In fact, there are many ways to encrypt folders, and we can't let others peep into our privacy files. Next, Xiaobian will introduce three methods of folder encryption.
The first is the hidden folder method. First, find the folder you want to encrypt, then right-click the properties column, and check 'hide' in the last column of the pop-up window. Click apply and confirm, click Tools in folder window, and then enter "view" in "Folder Options", check "do not show hidden files and folders" here.
The second is compressed folder encryption. First select the folder you want to encrypt, then right-click and select Add to compressed file. A window of compressed file name and parameters will pop up, and click set password. Enter the password and select OK. The password should not be set too long to avoid forgetting. Then delete the original folder, so that others can only see the encrypted compressed file, and can't see the contents of the original file. When you need to check, just enter the decompression password.
The third is to use encryption software to encrypt folders. Here, Xiaobian takes' folder encryption advanced version software 'as an example to show you how to use encryption software. First download the software in the app store and install it on your computer. At this time, we can see a folder encryption option in the software interface, and then click to further select the folder we want to encrypt. After selecting, click OK, and an encryption dialog box will pop up. Enter the password and then select the encryption type you want. Generally, fast encryption will be more convenient. Then there is the password prompt, so that you can find the password in the future. After the encryption is completed, we can see a dialog box of "encryption succeeded". At this time, if we look at the previous file, an encryption flag will appear.
