What is Reddit's opinion of Axcrypt?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

You're welcome. With regards encrypting files yourself, have a look at AxCrypt. It permits encrypted files to be shared with specific individuals. Once set up you could send (or they could download) any number of encrypted files and they would open as normal on their computer (with AxCrypt software installed). If the file was intercepted, it could not be opened by someone else, even if they had installed AxCrypt software. The software is open source is offered in free and paid versions. https://www.axcrypt.net/ FYI, I have no affiliation with the company.

>Yikes. Might you have any tips on keeping my data secure?

If you run windows, your best bet would be to enable BitLocker. I think it requires a Pro version of windows but it enables full disk encryption. (Tutorial Here)

​

If you don't have a pro version of windows you can find quite a lot of software online that you can use to encrypt your most valuable files. AxCrypt is a free solution that isn't too bad.

Just bruteforcing would be pretty much impossible at this point I guess

You said you used axcrypt, tried this? https://www.axcrypt.net/axcrypt-brute-force/

Let's you try variations of your password apparently, no idea if it'll work. But if it was just a typo from the one you remember then it should maybe help you.

Any files already uploaded to Google can't be encrypted within the cloud. You must encrypt them locally on your computer, upload the encrypted versions, then delete the previously uploaded, unencrypted files.

If you want to encrypt your files but keep the original file names visible within Google, use AxCrypt. You encrypt them on your computer, and use Google's sync software to upload/sync them. Once uploaded, delete the unencrypted versions from your account.

Axcrypt https://www.axcrypt.net/ can encrypt files. They still remain individual files, and the folder itself is not secured, just the files in it.

Open Source. A premium version is available that offers additional features such as key sharing.

Axcrypt https://www.axcrypt.net/ can encrypt files and all of the files in a folder. They still remain individual files, and the folder itself is not secured, just the files in it.

I don't want to dismiss what OP is saying but it is known for years that NSA catches pedos in TOR network using similar methods.

Unfortunately all our devices are unsecure at an hardware level. I would still be specially concerned if I had an Huwaei, Xiaomi phone.

Until the day we have open source hardware, specially microprocessors, be sure that you have no privacy and that you are surveiled 24/7.

Axcrypt : https://www.axcrypt.net/

Encrypts single files so you could use Notepad or LibreOffice to create a file and then encrpyt the text file or document. Whenever you want to decrypt, enter the password.

Free A premium version exists with additional features (mobile app, ability to encrypt folders and subfolders)

Obviously, if you forget the password, there's no recovery.

Truecrypt has been discontinued for some time now and veracrypt started as a fork from truecrypt and Is still active.

If you’re looking to encrypt single files there is Axcrypt https://www.axcrypt.net

Vercrypt has the ability to encrypt an entire drive, although I'm not entirely sure if it allows for the encryption of USB drives, you'll have to figure that one out.

On to your second point, what you're asking for is simply not possible. If you have an encrypted file, that file requires decryption before any changes can be made to it, because it is encrypted. There are applications like Axcrypt that do simplify this process and allow simply double clicking an already encrypted file to be edited, but even then the file is being temporarily decrypted to allow editing to happen.
