    Password Software for Flash Drives ??

    Was wondering if there is any software program [freebee perhaps] that one can install on regular flash drives [thumb drives] to protect the contents of same in the event one is ever lost or stolen ? Something that would require a password in order to view the contents?? Something simple yet effective .....

    Some thumbdrives come with one, so check the sticks website for one.

    TNX Broni & Train; I'll give that one a try. Had recently purchased a drive on sale. Was strictly bare-bones. Am aware of the "smart drives" as I have one of those also )

    Here are the ones I use. (Note that my choices for container type encryption require running under an Administrator account. The others do not.)

    Thanks much HAN ; for the info. I will try them also. The earlier one I tried offers very minimal storage space per volume, unless you purchase the upgrade which is rather expensive...Just too much for a one on a fixed income....
