There are 3 types to encrypt a folder in Best Encryption Expert: full encryption, diamond encryption and portable encryption.

Full encryption encrypts all files in a folder into encrypted files at one time. You can open a Full-encrypted folder normally without entering password, but each file inside needs the correct password to access.

Figure 5

Using the diamond encryption if you want to open a folder with a password and the highest security. The diamond-encrypted folder looks like the Figure 6.

Figure 6

Using the portable encryption if you want to decrypt an encrypted folder on another computer. Portable Encryption packs and encrypts a folder into an executable (.exe) file with internationally mature encryption algorithm. You can encrypt important data with this method, and it can be used on a computer where Best Encryption Expert is not installed.

Figure 7

Note: Full Encryption, Diamond Encryption and Portable Encryption feature strong encryption intensity and the encrypted folder can only be decrypted with the correct password, so please keep the password firmly in your mind if you use one of the three encryption types. Yet these three encryption methods are a little slower, therefore they are perfect for important folders within 990M.

If you want to open an encrypted file or folder, just double click it and enter your password. The file and folder will be re-encryped automatically after you close it.
