Requires some tech savvy, so some skill is required, particularly if things go wrong. In the Windows world different UEFI implementations can cause problems in one, not in others, and the solutions are not uniform between issues. For Bitlocker, Microsoft worked out issues with vendors before hand, so if Windows installs and works without bitlocker, it will likely work with it. See More
The source code is open to review. It has already had a security audit and it did well, with small problems fixed by authors within days of being reported. Its predecessor source, Truecrypt, had a detailed audit that found its capabilities sound, completed (ironically) shortly before the TC folks decided to call it quits. Anyone skeptical or curious about what it does can see how it works, at the gut level. See More
Treats an encrypted file as a virtual disk, can also encrypt a partition or drive. See More
Open source (the free version of openPgp), other similar products are offered for other platforms (Gpg4win for Windows for example). It is the most secure way to send emails today, close to military encryption. Some negative points: not all mail clients support it and when a key is not only on your hard disk but also on a server (pgp.mit.edu for example), it is complicated to remove it. Last positive point: it can also be used other than for emails, to encrypt and sign documents. Bitcoin releases are signed with the GPG keys of the developers ;) See More
7-Zip is free software. You can use it on any computer. You don't need to register or pay for 7-Zip (including for commercial use). 7-Zip is licensed under GNU LGPL, and the *.7z format has support across all major operating systems. There should be no trouble opening the archives under any operating system, and no need to deal with messages bugging you to register or pay for the app. Source code can be found here. See More
It's just so simple to use,the only drawback is the subscription which is why i am looking for alternatives. See More
Free, easy and very secure encryption (see Paranoid mode: double encryption) See More
I needed a program to hide some files on a shared computer behind a password and NordLocker did the job. I had to create an account, download their app, set the master password and everything else has been smooth sailing. It can encrypt up to 5GB in the free plan which is more than enough for me.

Actually there are lots of options to choose from, but Nordvpn has released a free encryption software app called Nordlocker (https://nordlocker.com/). As I am a loyal user of Nordvpn, I decided to try it out and encrypted almost everything that I had on my pc… it was super easy and took only few moments. I’m happy that Nordvpn launched a new product and I would totally recommend this tool for everyone. See More
