Instructions on to encrypt a file on OSX 10.9. Based of this StackOverflow post.
- Homebrew
- osxfuse
brew install Caskroom/cask/osxfuse
- encfs
brew install encfs
mkdir ~/.encrypted ~/encrypted # **Note** The absolute path is required
encfs ~/.encrypted ~/encrypted # I used the 'p' options and then entered a password
Add files to the ~/encrypted
folder. You can use this folder like any other, while it is mounted.
To unmount and thus hide the content of folder:
umount ~/encrypted
The contents of the folder will no longer exist in ~/encrypted
while the data will be encrypted in the ~/.encrypted
folder.
To view the contents of the ~/encrypted
folder.
encfs ~/.encrypted ~/encrypted # and enter the password
Store all the files!
