USBCrypt

USBCrypt is a software utility that provides a simple means of protecting your data from prying eyes, by encrypting a drive, be it external or not.

The installation process does not last long and it does not offer to download any kind of product that is not actually necessary for the tool to work properly. Once you wrap it up, you come face to face with a simple and modern GUI, as it is comprised only of a few buttons and a drop-down menu. Moreover, it incorporates some tips in the main window, as well as some comprehensive Help contents thus ensuring that all types of users can find their way around it, regardless of their previous experience with computers.

It is important to understand that this software application works by creating a separate encrypted drive on the USB thumb drive or hard disk partition you have selected. Moreover, you should check the device to be empty, so as to make sure that they are not going to be corrupted or deleted.

This process does not put a strain on the computer’s performance, as it does not require a large amount of resources in order to work properly. This means you can run it alongside other utilities without encountering problems.

Any file you place on the newly created drive is going to be automatically encrypted, as well as decrypted when you move it to another location, a feature which proves to greatly enhance ease of use.

To sum up, USBCrypt is a pretty efficient piece of software when it comes to encrypting and decrypting files and directories. All jobs are performed in a timely manner, the interface is user-friendly and our tests did not reveal any errors, crashes or bugs.
