I just purchased a 64 GB USB Flash Drive. How can I password protect my data on this drive?

    You can use Knox https://agilebits.com/knox

    Hi @JoeAldrich,

    Some Flash Drives such as SanDisk come with cross platform encryption software. If you don't particularly care about cross platform compatibility of the encryption then you might consider looking at encrypted disk images provided by /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app, or Full Disk encryption available via DiskUtility's drive formatting options. In the past Knox would work really well in this situation, but unfortunately we no longer sell licenses for it.

    Let us know if you have any other questions and have a great weekend!

    Thanks for the responses. I already had my encryption needs satisfied but I won't forget Agile Bits as a fertile source of such info.
