macOS Disk Utility
Encrypt your Mac folders for extra security
Keep your folders secure and safe from prying eyes by ensuring they are password protected
Not all folders are equal. Some will contain files you don’t want others to see, such as financial documents, contracts and sensitive info. To be sure people can’t access your Mac and easily open these folders, you can encrypt the data so it can only be viewed by entering a password. This also means you can feel more comfortable sharing that data, knowing the other person will also have to enter a password.
