I also doubt you will find an encryption software which will run without administrator privileges on Windows.ZuluCrypt | zuluCrypt is a simple, feature rich and powerful solution for hard drives encryption.

That's the reason the easy to use solutions do cost quite some money and why there are besides Truecrypt no free or cheap solutions out there. I know what you want but encrypting a file is not that plain and simple thing to do.

With the portable mode you don't need to install Truecrypt on the PC but in order to run it from the USB Stick you still need administrator rights. You can encrypt whole USB drives but as you already said you need administrator privileges to run Truecrypt even if you want to run it in portable mode from your USB stick. A NTFS formated drive can support files up to 16EiB (Exbibyte wich are 1024^6 byte in comparison a Gigabyte is 1024^2 bytes). A size which no one every believed to be too small when FAT32 was developed. The maximum size of 4GB only applies for drives formated in FAT32. But, I can't say I'm in both these situations. a friend's computer), I first need to install Truecrypt (assuming the friend has administrator privileges).ĭon't get me wrong, I think Truecrypt is a nifty program that might do the trick for those with (a) small amounts of data to store in the size-limited Truecrypt volume and (b) administrator privileges. To me that means that anywhere I want to access the Truecrypt volume (e.g. complicated.Īlso, admittedly I just learned this today but the TrueCrypt Documentation (at )implies that in order to use the Truecrypt volume on a computer, Truecrypt needs to be installed on the computer by the administrator - which I am not (and can not be). Yes, I could create multiple Truecrypt volumes and sub-divide the folder into smaller parts, but that gets. That's not large enough for the folder containing the documents I want to have on the thumb drive. I have a 16GB thumb drive but, if I recall from last evening, Truecrypt only allowed a 4GB Trucerypt volume. Nevertheless one of the issues I had in attempting (using my Mac) to create a Truecrypt volume on the thumb drive is the size limitation on the size of the volume. Did you look at the Beginner's Tutorial?I reviewed the beginners tutorial and found it helpful but somewhat confusing.

Truecrypt) and no, the thumbdrive didn't come with any encryption software (no matter as I understand these built-in encryptions programs work on Mac or PC but not both, and I don't need encryption, just some basic password protection). The thing deosn't even need to self destruct in 5 seconds if the password isn't correct.

Free preferably or cheap that, when I double click on the folder in Mac OS X or Windows, will ask me for a password to access the folder. I looked at Truecrypt but it was so wildly complicated, I couldn't deal. When I click on the folder on a Mac, same, I should be asked for a password. When I click on the folder on a WIN PC, I should be asked for a password. Problem is that I need to access the folder on both a Mac and a PC into which I plug the thumb drive. Just looking for something that'll stop a pciker-upper of the drive from accessing it on a whim. If someone was truly dedicated to hacking the information in the folder, I'm sure they could do it (and I'm not particularly worried about this). Admittedly (I'm sure) someone with more sophisticated hardware/software/hacking abilities could access the folder but I'm talking about a basic protection of "Thumbdrive dropped at an airport and trying to prevent prying eyes from taking a peek." Don't need fancy smanchy encryption of the files, ust a front line "Enter Passowrd" on both the Mac and PC before someone can access the folder. My goal is to have simple password protection for the folder to at least slow access to the folder on the thumbdrive. I have a USB thumb drive that contains a folder of documents on the thumbdrive.
