Easy Free File Encryption Software

[rianhunter]

I wrote this application, Safe, http://www.getsafe.org/about, to help me encrypt my files and keep them private before I store them anywhere (external hard drive, google drive, etc.). I thought some people on this forum might appreciate it!

As can be gleaned from the write-up, your program is essentially EncFS with 1 difference:

Where EncFS uses FUSE to present the encrypted files in unencrypted form to the OS, which limits its use to UNIX-like platforms, your product uses its own self-written and locally operating IPv4-only WebDAV server which the OS can then access, making the concept available to non-UNIX (=Windows) platforms.

It would make sense to have a performance comparison between TrueCrypt and your solution. I'm sure it's a little slower than EncFS due to the localhost network connection, but not by a large margin, so comparing those two wouldn't add much. The rest is pretty much described in the page you've linked.
