Hello,

I am looking for a way to protect my flash disk with a password. In case I lose my flash disk, and somebody else gets access to it, should not be able to access the content and files.

I really want to protect my flash disk but I don't know how? Need your help.

Peter, you don't know what you're talking about. Do some research before posting links.

Those would take decades to find a password like Awesome39123

I tried experimenting with what you said on my computer and it didn't work. I created a new file, right clicked on it, clicked send to comprehesed(zipped), then I opened the folder and right clicked, but there was no "add password" option. This isn't the first time I've tried this either; you must have left something out.

you could used 7zip
once installed
right click on the file(or folder)
choose -7zip
then -add to archive...
and read a lot
then look for the menu to put your password
it should be easy
use google to help yourself in understanding 7zip

is there a free program to password protect a folder on a flash drive
Answer 5 / 14

This should help

As I understand you install a small file on your usb flash drive and assign a password to it. You can still use the flash drive in every computer and no program is needed to install on the computer. It just asks you to enter your password when you try to open the drive.

I don't have an "add password" option. Do you have this within MS Explorer? within WinZip? If not, what software gives you the add password option?

Thanks.

You can't make a password for your flash disk, but you can encrypt your data with a program like truecrypt, but your data are no longer accessible only on a PC with that program installed on.

Dear
You can put password by downloading a software called free file hide from www.cleanersoft.com n then you put passpord. Put your all files or folders in it. Nobody can get in to it without a password.
