Encrypt and protect folders with a disk image
Need to keep specific folders locked down on your Mac? Sure, you can use the File Vault feature of OSX, but that encrypts your entire home directory. And if you’re like me, some of the sensitive info resides on external hard drives. Solution? Encrypted disc images.
After realizing that File Vault wasn’t for me, I searched for mac folder encryption in Google. I found Penmachine’s Flickr slideshow on how to create a password protected, 128bit encrypted disc image. Bingo. Now, when I need those sensitive files, I just mount the image, enter the password, and the image works just like a folder.
