Is there any up or downside to using an encrypted folder on the Flash Drive rather than encrypting the whole thing via Disk Utility or third party software? ![]() While I've searched I can find no way to encrypt a Flash Drive via Disk utility? Am I correct? If I'm incorrect, how do I encrypt the flash drive? The only choices I have are Mac OS Extended (Journaled), Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled), ExFAT and MS-DOS (FAT). If not, does any body have a better idea or any feedback how to password protect my 3.1 Ultra Fit USB drive?įlash Drive Encryption questions I would like to encrypt a flash drive - business use - and have some questions: I will try it & let you know if you can tell me how to erase it with Disk Utility while switching it to the "GUID Partition Map", I think it will fix it. The SanDisk's come with a "Master Boot Record" map & I don't know how to change it because since it changed storage management with the APFS, it does not give the option to choose the map. I would like to suggest a solution, how do you change the partition map on the APFS system, the proper Apple only map is "GUID Partition Map". How do you password protect a 3.1 Ultra Fit made by SanDisk using apple's built in software? ![]() With the 3.1 thumb drive, the pop-up box to choose a password doesn't appear as with my 3.0 SanDisk USB matching in size and every single other USB memory card I have used. With "encrypted" as the last word, it means you must choose a password before it will erase. That way is Disk Utility via means of clicking erase, and choosing one of the, well as of now 3 options with (journaled, encrypted) at the end of the option. ![]() Until my SanDisk Ultra Fit 3.1 thumb drive, every USB memory card has successfully re-keyed the card to successfully password protect my USB the same way. I (there are multiple ways on a MacBook) password protect my memory cards using Apple's software instead of SanDisk SecureAccess or one of the many 3rd party apps out of convenience & theory it will work better on a mac than using a 3rd party service.
