R-Crypto

Computer security doesn’t just mean having an antivirus solution installed, because personal stuff is at risk even without an active Internet connection. In case you want your own secure drive, R-Crypto gives you the possibility to create a custom-size disk which can only be accessed with a password you specify.

The visual design pretty much resembles a classic File Explorer panel from past Windows iterations, making it easy to understand by individuals of all levels of experience. First up a new drive needs to be created, but note that physical space is reserved, so it’s best to make sure you use a large enough drive as source.

The whole process of creating a new encrypted drive is driven by a wizard, making things even easier. The container needs to be saved to a custom location, and you can extract as much space as you need, given it’s available. Next up comes compression method, with an impressive array of options. Algorithms you can use come in several presets, or you can fully customize one, with options for provider, hash algorithm, as well as cipher, each category with multiple options.

You can choose to mount the new drive on any available letter, with the possibility to pick a different one for every connection. Sure enough, the application can remember details, and even automatically connect when Windows runs.

You find the new drive in My Computer under the specified letter. What’s more, the corresponding tray icon also acts like a control panel, letting you mount, and unmount multiple drives with a few mouse clicks. You can fully interact with an encrypted drive the way you would with a regular one. The application can automatically lock drives whenever you log off, lock the computer, after idle time, and more.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that R-Crypto is a powerful security solution, which lets you create a safe virtual disk drive which only you have access to. Multiple types of encryption algorithms are at your disposal, as well as mount, and lock options. The overall process quickly gets you up and running thanks to the wizard-driven process.
