USB Flash Drive Encryption/Password Protection?

Why are there no portable encryption Tools to download?

What would you recommend to use for password protection/encryption for my PortableApps USB Drive?

Thanks.

Admin Rights, Hardware Encryption

If you mean software encryption for the whole drive, then that requires admin rights. Something like TrueCrypt or a new fork like VeraCrypt will work, but you must have admin rights on every PC you use it on. Requiring admin rights means it's only useful on your own PCs.

A superior solution is hardware encryption like the PortableApps.com Carbide drive which will work on every PC whether you have admin rights or not.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Is it a sandisk drive?

If you have a sandisk drive, then you could download and use sandisk secure access...

I love PortableApps! ❤❤❤
