Keeping files secure on a Windows system can simply be done by adding them into an archive with a password layer so only you can access them. However, third-party applications provide more features, making it harder for target files to be decoded, and one suitable example in this regard is Encrypt Files.

Just as the name suggests, the application’s core function is to help protect files through various algorithms. The visual design makes sure you don’t have a hard time accommodating with the workspace, with a large navigation pane for easy file selection, and different functions spread throughout two side panes.

Files or entire folders are selected through the built-in navigation pane. Although the view can’t be changed, it’s easy enough to find files through the tree list. You can select one or more items, but be sure to choose the source file action too, because by default they are deleted, and you can either choose not to, or enforce through shredding.

Basic file management is also possible, in a limited manner. Sure enough, you can move them or create new folders, but you can delete them, or even permanently removed through shredding techniques. It’s also possible to run the selected file in the default viewer or editor.

The application comes with an impressive variety of algorithms you can use to encrypt your files. A dedicated drop-down menu lets you select from Blowfish, Twofish, Cast, Ice, Mars, Misty, RC, Rijn Dael, Tea, Serpent, or Triple Des. Needless to say that you’re also required to add a password.

Every file you select is encrypted under its own secure item, with no built-in function to bundle them all into a single file. What’s more, decryption needs to be done using the application again, because the encrypted files can’t normally be run otherwise.

Truth be told, Encrypt Files is a trustworthy application that can make sure only you can access important files on your computer. The visual design is neat, letting you quickly accommodate with the set of features. An abundance of encryption algorithms are at your disposal, and it only takes a while from start to end, making this app worth a try overall.
