Almost every computer user today has at least one USB flash drive. These handy storage devices are often found in pockets or used as keychains. Unfortunately, their small size makes them easy to misplace or lose.

When you lose your USB drive, there’s always a risk of someone finding it and going through your personal files. So, to truly protect your data, make sure your USB flash drive is secure.

You can easily do this with your Mac computer, which allows you to put a protective password on your data. To do so, you can use your Mac to create an encrypted disk image of your USB drive; the disk image becomes a container for your data and only authorized users who know the password can open it.

Tutorial: How To Encrypt A Flash Drive In Mac:

There are many ways to encrypt USB Flash Drive in Mac, also you can use many tools to encrypt your files or full disk, but in this tutorial, we are going to use Mac Internal Encryption program which is highly recommended.

Another method: We are creating another folder inside your USB drive which is encrypted and contain your sensitive data in it. This is the best way because you don’t need to enter the passcode each time when you are accessing the files other than the Encrypted Folder.

  1. Insert your flash drive into a USB port on your Mac. Copy all files on the drive and paste them into your Desktop. The USB drive has to be empty during the encryption process. All files can simply be copied back onto it after the completion of the encryption process.
  2. Once the flash drive is empty, open Disk Utility, which is found under Applications in your Finder menu.
  3. You will see a window with a list of devices towards the left portion of it. Choose your flash drive from the list.

  4. Choose the size closest to the full capacity of your USB drive; make sure the size is smaller. As for the Encryption menu, choose either 128-bit or 256-bit AES encryption. As for the Partitions, choose Single Partition.
  5. Go to Image Format and click on Read/write disk image. Finally, click Create.
  6. A small window will appear where you will be asked to provide a password. Don’t lose your password as you will not be able to access your data without password.

Are There Any Risks Of Encrypting Flash Drive?

When we think about encryption, it always seems beneficial which is mostly true. However, in encrypting a flash drive, there are some issues to which a user is still prone.

The password could be the greatest issue as the whole encryption process depends on keeping a strong password. If your password is easy to guess or doesn’t contain strong characters then there are chances that it could be revealed.

Most people write down the password to remember it which produces the chances of losing it. Also, if the encrypted flash drive is entered into a compromised device with key logging software then you may lose the password while entering it.

However, the most probable risk is the loss of the password if you forget it and there is no chance to decrypt USB data without password. But, there are the ways to recover password such as BitLocker’s recovery key or a clue or to store it securely.
