Easy File Encryptor Description
Easy File Encryptor is a small application that enables you to safeguard files and folders on your computer, so nobody can access them without your permission.
Enables you to encrypt files in one click
It is necessary to mention that after a quick and uneventful setup, you can access the application from the Windows Explorer context menu. In fact, the role of the app is to provide you with a very accessible solution for protecting files without too much hassle.
Therefore, you can select the encrypt function and type and confirm a password to protect any file that you do not want anyone to access. You can open it by simply entering the passcode. You should know that the app does not mark protected files in Windows Explorer and they are only visible if opened with other third-party software solutions.
Could use a password manager capable of generating passcodes
Ideally, you should use a different password for each file you are encrypting, particularly if you are creating files that are addressing only a few, selected users. It would have been nice if the tool came with a password manager where you can store all passkeys used for the files and that could generate strong, Unicode codes capable of providing superior protection.
As far as the encryption is concerned, the program comes with the standard AES 256 algorithm, which is an overall satisfactory protocol that can ensure that the data you send via an email, for instance, cannot be accessed unless you enter the password.
An efficient tool for personal use
In spite of the fact that it is simple to use, the program is not the best option for the highly sensitive data such as financial reports of your company. Even though the password system is one way to deter some curios or badly intended users, Easy File Encryptor is more suitable for home and personal use.
