What is Encrypto?
Encrypto is an easy-to-use app that lets you encrypt files with AES-256 encryption and send the files to coworkers and external parties. The app is compatible on both Mac and Windows, so you can send encrypted files without worrying whether the other person can open it or not.
Why do I need to encrypt my files?
Encryption is important because it allows you to securely protect data that you do not want anyone else to have access to.
By encrypting the file, you ensure that other users can open the file with the correct password.
**Do note that the user that receives the encrypted file must also have Encrypto installed for them to decrypt the file. The installation is very easy.
To download and install the software, kindly access
