hey youtube this is I move in my care
today I'm going to be showing you how to
create the sorts of top-secret file
which is password protected on your Mac
there's the way you can see applications
then you go to utilities you can see
there
this cute LZ click on that at the top
you can see new image click on that and
you get a few options save hours so you
can save the highest top secret
I call it anything else in the way you
pick what you want to say that i
recommend the desktop
you don't have to pick the name so I'm
going to call the top secret again in
the size you pick out big you want the
fuck the air filled with the baby so I'm
going to click on cost them their drop
back down 2 gigabytes and type in one
gigabyte as you can see where it's and
so the one gigabyte the for much of me
Mac OS extended journaled just leave
that is how it is on the encryption you
have two options
128-bit is faster but less secure the
256 bit is more secure but slower i
right
recommend go with the hundred
twenty-eight bit as for the partitions
on the image formats leave them as they
are a fine like that and click create
the next pop-up you get is picking up a
sweat so I'm gonna call a film
make sure you're on tick this box here
that says remember your password because
if it's over there on the folder that
would defeat the object of having be
secret folder and click OK
it will create the image l it treats the
image as a sort of removable memory pan
but internally and i'll show you what i
mean in a minute
and that's daunting closer now as you
can see a you get two folders the dmg
file which is used to activate it
the the folder which is clusters are
kind of an internal memory stick
if you open that you can see you get a
window where you can see the files and
folders
you may have noticed there wasn't
password protected the first time
so if you click eject like that when you
log on your computer and that's all
you'll see the other the folder will
naturally appear until you click on mess
i will prompt you for your password so i
want to thank bill
I know it brings off the disk image then
you can save your files into there so
i'm going to create a folder called top
secrets stoop and drag him to the folder
second delete that now if I Jack that so
it's nice and secure an out so they want
to activate the fold to go into it
so the wall , and ask you for your
password taper and open the disc image
on Bajor folder if you want to get rid
of these it's really simple you just the
jack clark first you move this to your
trash and you delete the trash
as you can see here I said that is one
gigabyte so you can see my total
available space is a hundred ninety
three gigabytes
if I empty the trash who it then goes
294 gigabytes so you are wasting any
space is removable deletable so there's
nothing to worry about
and that's all for now this is highly
Mac rate and subscribe and I'll see you
