VeraCrypt is a security software for Windows that offers flexible options to encrypt individual files and whole partitions. There is a wide range of reliable algorithms that allow users to protect any data from illegal access.
Requirements
There are two set up options with one being more convenient for securing multiple computers as users do not have to install the program. It is only necessary to extract all files from the package and shut down a startup manager. The latter is necessary for VeraCrypt to work properly without crashes.
Volumes
Users can create encrypted volumes to keep sensitive info with complex and editable passwords. It is possible to store a wide range of data formats including audios, videos, images, documents, executables and packages. There is even an option to make large containers to secure system drives, whether it is HDDs or SDDs.
Compared to CloudShield EncryptSync, this program applies numerous methods to transform files from open locations to an encrypted one. The list includes AES, Serpent and Twofish. Such selection allows you to choose the necessary level of security according to your preferences and needs. Moveover, there is a plausible deniability option with which you can hide one volume within another, providing an additional layer of protection.
