Drop Secure is the easy-to-use personal encryption program. You can quickly and simply encrypt and compress files by just dragging and dropping the files on the drop secure window.
Encrypt a file
To encrypt files, you must be in encrypt mode. This is the default mode of the application - you can also change to encrypt mode by clicking the encrypt button on the top of the page, or choosing view, then encrypt from the views menu.
Select a file from your desktop or file system and drag over the Drop Secure Program while holding the left mouse button down. Release the mouse button when you are over the Drop Secure icon (the briefcase with the little lock by it). The file will now be encrypted - you will find the encrypted file in the same location as the original.
Decrypt a file
To decrypt files, you must be in decrypt mode. You can go to decrypt mode by selecting the decrypt button on the top of the page, or by choosing view, then decrypt from the drop secure menu.
Select a file from your desktop or file system, and drag over the drop secure program while holding the left mouse button down. Release the mouse button when you are over the decrypt icon (the briefcase with the unlocked lock by it). The file will now be decrypted - you will find the decrypted file in the same location as the original. In the case that you have received this file from someone else via email or other method the document's original will have the drop secure logo by it. You will need to enter the appropriate password for that file that was assigned by the person who encrypted it. This password may be different than the password you use to encrypt your own documents.
