SanDisk SecureAccess is a Windows software that gives users the ability to encrypt files and folders located on USB flash drives. This allows them to safely store confidential documents on their device without being worried that the data might be used wrongfully if the memory stick is misplaced.

Overview

It is worth noting that this program can only be run from a SanDisk external drive. Before accessing the main function of the app, it is recommended you type in the password that will be used for encryption.

The strength of the passphrase is evaluated in real time, so you can choose one that is as strong as possible. Then you have an option to specify a hint that will help you to remember the password.

The utility features an intuitive workspace. Users can easily create new encrypted folders where the files they want to protect will be stored. Moreover, the application offers them the ability to delete the original files from their computer after they are transferred to the storage destination.

Advantages

Not only can you browse the files you want to protect, but you are also able to drag and drop them onto the main window of the application and they will be quickly encrypted.

Furthermore, you may increase the level of security by setting the password to expire after a certain period of time. Additionally, you have an option to adjust the timeout, so that the program will automatically lock the item if it is not used for a while.

To protect the safety of your files, you can also use archive encryption tools like UHARC.
