Imagine that you are using a USB memory stick regularly, as you need to carry your important files and folders with you wherever you go. Your USB memory device can become lost or stolen eventually and in this situation, unwanted people can have access to your personal and sensitive data stored on that USB memory stick.

This is why it's a good idea to install and use Encrypt Stick, a Windows program which allows you to encrypt any USB memory stick with a password, so that only you will have access to it. Encrypting the USB stick and the data it contains can protect your personal information from anyone.

After the application has been installed, the user first needs to insert his USB memory stick into the computer. Encrypt Stick can work with any kind of USB memory device, no matter how large it is. After having connected the memory device, a short step by step wizard will be displayed, guiding the user through the process of configuring the USB memory stick for encryption. First of all, one should enter his email address and password in order to register on the program's website.

After completing the registration step, the USB memory device will become encrypted and the main interface of Encrypt Stick will be displayed. At this point, the user will be able to add files and folders to the memory stick directly from the program's interface. When adding data, the application will automatically encrypt it. Decrypting it can only be performed after entering the email address and password used for registering the application. This will make the data stored on the memory stick completely secured and protected from unwanted people.

But the functionality of Encrypt Stick doesn't only limit to encrypting USB storage devices, as it also includes a secure web browser which allows the user to access any website without worrying about temporary and private data being stored on the hard disk, like it's the case with most regular browsers. There is also a complex password manager, which allows you to store all your passwords and usernames in a safe place.

Pros

It allows you to encrypt any kind of USB memory device just by following a couple of simple steps. Besides that, the encrypted data can be decoded only after entering a password. Furthermore, it includes a secure web browser which does not store temporary data on the hard disk. What's more, it allows you to store all your login data in a safe place.

Cons

The demo version includes some limitations, for example the user cannot export the encrypted files to another memory device. What's more, there is no recovery option in case the user loses the program's password. Encrypt Stick is the right choice for protecting all your personal and private data stored on a USB memory device.
