"PeaZip" is another wonderful archiving application that can be installed in Linux Mint.

One of the easiest options is to install "p7zip-full" from the "Synaptic Package Manager (SPM)" and just right-click a folder or file(s) from your file manager and use archive "compression" with password encryption, use the "move" option to remove the original files after archiving (compressing). So, how does one enable file/folder encryption in Mint via the GUI? What am I missing?Īs you already know, there are various options for encrypting folders and or files and or drives and their partitions. All those tutorials say to install seahorse-nautilus and seahorse-plugins, and after a restart I should see an 'Encrypt' option appear on the menu when I right-click on a file or folder.

Is this possible via a GUI tool in Linux?Ĭpcarl wrote:I want to right-click on a folder and have an option to encrypt it, and have found many tutorials on the Internet for how to accomplish this but it is not working for me in testing. Am I missing some other option that will just encrypt the original file instead of creating an encrypted copy of the file in Linux? I don't want to create hidden encrypted folders and what not that can be done with other utilities I just want to encrypt files without leaving behind unencrypted copies. I REALLY want to move to Mint from Windows, but stuff like this is totally maddening, and gives me pause. confused?!?! Who was the genius who thought that this was how this should work in Linux? Why does GPG have to make an encrypted copy of the file instead of just encrypting the original? Now I have 400 files in the folder the 200 encrypted copies and the 200 unencrypted originals. I right-click on the folder and encrypt all of the files within. WOW! Is it just me or is that a totally fatal flaw? Let's say I have a directory with 200 files in it that I want to encrypt. Using GPG to encrypt files via the GUI (right-click and selecting 'Encrypt') just makes an encrypted copy of the original file, while leaving the original file unencrypted in the directory.
