Step 5
- Left click on file in the menu bar at the top of your screen.

Step 7
- Left Click on the drop down menu bar for encryption, and choose 256-bit AES encryption. (Figure 4)
- Another window will pop-up asking you to choose a password and to verify it. This just means to retype it the same password again. (Figure 5)


Step 7

- My folder was on my desktop, and it is currently working.

- A new device will open on your desktop as soon as you click on OK with all of your files in it. It should look like the one I circled in red.

- Open it and confirm all of your files that you want are in there. You can edit whatever you want in there, and then eject it and all the files should stay in there that you want.
