Hi,

does anyone know if there is a way to password protect files on my Android device (Google Pixel 4), send them to another device (such as a Windows or a Linux PC) and still be able to open them but obviously require the password? And also vice versa, too?

Not sure if this is possible? If I want encrypted file containers I use VeraCrypt, but that is not compatible with Android devices....unless anyone knows of an alternative?

Thanks in advance

Ross

Use Cryptomater - storebb NBC the files on Dropbox, iCloud etc. In An encrypted folder and access them from all of your devices.
