I know I could and should encrypt whole drives but I want another layer of protect specific folders when my devices are unlocked, a password. I want the folders to behave like regular folders where I can add or remove files as usual, without a clunky UX like password protected zips. I looked it up and didn't find any straightforward solutions.

I suppose the truecrypt successor veracrypt would work well for this, it is available on all 3 platforms which probably makes it stand out from most other solutions.

TrueType was great for this. They just shut down one day. It sucked but luckily all their tools came in one downloaded application.

I didn’t know there was a successor. Is it a spin off by some of the staff or created out of necessity by a new team.
