AES Drive
An easy-to-use utility that keeps files securely encrypted on disk. Your decrypted files are available at your fingertips - yet always remain encrypted on disk.
DownloadTransparent Encryption and Decryption
AES Drive provides a simple way to secure files by always keeping them encrypted on disk, while still allowing access to the decrypted versions through a mounted virtual drive. When the drive is mounted files are encrypted and decrypted transparently, allowing you to work with your files as if they were not encrypted. The full range of standard file operations are supported including create, read, update, and delete. No plaintext data ever touches the disk, all file data is stored encrypted and is only accessible while the drive is mounted.
Your password is never stored or transmitted. Because of this, if your password is lost it cannot be recovered and your files cannot be decrypted. It is important that you choose a strong password and store it securely.
Easy-to-Use
Use the intuitive installer, enter your encryption password, and begin securely working with your files in minutes.
