I've been fooling around with a Sand Disk that I have and I notice that when in Disk Utility, it shows "Only Volumes" or "All Devices". Once encrypted, I'll need to be able to erase the data. I understand I can use encryption software (ex: SandDisk) but what brands are reputable? What should I be looking for? 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.
