USB memory sticks are, nowadays, the most used devices for storing, sharing and transporting any kind of data. That's because they are really cheap for the large capacity they offer, easily reaching capacities of 4 GB. But despite their popularity, USB sticks have a problem. They are really small, so they can be easily lost or stolen. This can be a real problem in case one has some very important files stored on that device. There's no way to protect USB sticks using just Windows alone, but installing idoo USB Encryption Pro can solve this problem.

This simple Windows application can create a certain area on the USB memory stick where important files can be stored. This area will act as a file on the device and will be accessible only by entering the right password, otherwise the files and folders stored there will remain encrypted. Thus, even if your device gets stolen, thieves won't have access to your personal information.

The simple graphical interface of idoo USB Encryption Pro allows easily protecting any type of USB memory stick, no matter its capacity. The user just needs to insert the USB stick into the computer, select its partition letter, adjust the size of the protected area and that's it. In order for the program to work, the USB stick must first be converted into the NFS file system. This will be done automatically prior to creating the protected area.

After the protection is set, a special file will be put on the USB drive. Double clicking on it and entering the correct password will allow the user to have access to the protected files and folders. In case the file is deleted, idoo USB Encryption Pro can easily recover it.

Pros

It allows protecting any USB memory stick, by creating a special encrypted area on it, for storing all the important and personal information. Besides that, the protected area can be easily accessed by entering the right password. What's more, the program is compatible with any type of USB memory stick, no matter its capacity.

Cons

The file system of the USB drive should be NTFS in order for the program to work. Besides that, there is no way to access the protected files in case the user loses or forgets the password. idoo USB Encryption Pro is a valuable tool for protecting the contents of any USB memory stick with a password, making them inaccessible for unauthorized users.
