How to Encrypt a USB Drive on Windows/macOS/Linux

How to encrypt a USB Flash Drive without BitLocker. This guide shows how to securely encrypt and password-protect a USB drive on macOS, Linux, or Windows.

If you carry sensitive data on a USB drive, you should consider using encryption to secure the data in case of loss or theft. When you encrypt a flash drive only those with an encryption key or password will be able to access the data on the encrypted external drive.

If you need to be able to encrypt and access files on any Windows computer, as well as computers running Apple macOS or Linux, the open-source VeraCrypt is the best encryption software for you.
