 Today we will show you how to create an encrypted folder using Veracrypt. Veracrypt is a multi-platform encryption software which is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. To begin you will need to download and install Veracrypt onto your computer. First we need to launch Veracrypt. When the main window appears we then need to click create volume. The Veracrypt volume creation wizard window will then appear. Here we will choose to create an encrypted file container and click next. Next we will select the volume type standard Veracrypt volume. Now we will choose where we want this folder to be created. For this example I will be creating an encrypted folder on a USB pen drive. I will name this volume Scots volume and click save. Then we need to click next. Now we have to choose the encryption options. I will leave these as standard. Now we need to choose the volume size. For this example I will make it rather small at 50 megabytes. Then we click next. Next we need to select a strong volume password. The longer and more complex the better. However this example I will use a simple password. As you will see Veracrypt automatically warns us that short passwords are easy to crack. Next we are greeted with the volume format screen. Here you need to move your mouse as randomly as possible within the window as this increases the cryptographic strength of the encryption keys. Here I will do this only for a short time as this is a demonstration. Next you have to click format. As we can see the volume has been successfully created. As we have done creating the volume and do not wish to create anymore we can click exit. Once this process is now complete to access the volume you have to mount it to the computer. Here we need to select a drive letter. For this example I will select F. Then we need to select the file. Now we need to click mount. It will now ask us for our password. Click OK. And the driver will mount. As we can see the drive has mounted. I can now add data files to the folder as normal. It is important to remember when we have done using the folder to dismount the drive from the computer. To do this we need to open the vericlit window and we need to select dismount. This concludes our tutorial on creating an encrypted folder using Vericrypt. Thank you for watching.
