Unlike other algorithms, TwoFish algorithm offers fast file encryption and decryption, therefore, Drag n Crypt doesn’t take too long to encrypt a large chunk of data. The application also integrates with Windows right-click context menu to let users encrypt and decrypt files without having to open the main interface.

The Favorites feature lets you create a list of files and folders, so you can easily encrypt and decrypt them without any hassle involved.

When you launch the application, encryption box will appear on the desktop. From system tray menu, you can open program settings to enable Windows context menu integration, file association, secure removal of source file after encryption process ends, and favorite list decrypt/encrypt option. It allows users to specify the list of files which they want to encrypt and decrypt on daily basis. You can for instance put your confidential project files in Favorites to encrypt all of them from system tray menu.

  1. Well, with AxCrypt you can use command parameters to make it “portable”. I wrote a batch script that automatically encrypt all files inside the folder “Files” after asking me for a password. After it is done, it will automatically remove any traces of AxCrypt using AxCrypt’s uninstall parameter. I also have another batch script that does the uninstalling. It sure works well but yes I still do wish for an actual portable version of it. The portable version of it is still in Alpha and have been for a very long time so I hope he works on it again.

  2. Also comes with a portable installer. Ran this for a while but found it much slower than AxCrypt at encrypting and decrypting files and folders. AxCrypt works in the same manner with Explorer right-click integration but there is no portable version. If you’re happy to install then AxCrypt would be my recommendation.
