If you have very sensitive data and simple password protection is not enough, you can also encrypt a separate partition in a USB drive and add all important data in that partition. This way, you can easily access all your unprotected data without any need for a password, and access the important data just enter the password.
For this purpose, Rohos Mini driver does a remarkable job. It comes with both free and paid versions and free version offers encrypted partition up to 8GB. 8GB space is more than enough for many people, but you will have to opt for the paid version if you need more space.
Download and install http://www.rohos.com/ and launch the program, in the main menu, click on “Encrypt USB Driveâ€.
A dialog will open up with all the properties of the new partition that will be created. To change the properties, click on “change†at the end of the properties and you will see the customization options in another window.
Here you can specify, drive letter, space, and encryption type. It is better to not to change these options except for the partition size and disk letter. You can specify the partition size in MBs i.e. 1GB = 1000MB. With the free version you can also specify up to 8 GB space and you are only allowed to create partitions of half the space on the USB drive. So you need at least a 16GB USB drive to take full advantage of 8GB limit.
When you are done changing the properties, you will see two blank fields where you can enter a password to encrypt. Make sure you add a strong password (with numbers, characters in both capitals, special characters and of 15-20 characters minimum – more advice from https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/32040?hl=en) to ensure your sensitive data is safe. When you are done, click on Create disk and the process will start. It can take 10-20 minutes for a 500Mb partition, for larger partitions it could even take hours.
When done, all you need to do is plug in the USB on any computer and the Rohos program will be shown in the taskbar. To show the new partition, right-click on the Rohos icon and select “Connect diskâ€. You will be asked to provide the password, and when entered, the drive will be loaded in My Computer along with other drives.
To disconnect it, you can either safely remove the USB drive, or right-click on Rohos icon in the taskbar and select “Disconnectâ€.
Note: Rohos Mini Drive is portable and doesn’t require any special program to run, all you need to do is plug-in the USB and connect the disk.
