What is FileWard for Mac
FileWard is a handy tool designed to bring high-strength data encryption to Mac users.

I was very enthusiastic about this app (see my last post). However, FileWard is not fully compatible with Big Sur. I have tried to contact the author numerous times by various means. No response. This is not acceptable for a product that is still being sold.

Very good program. I prefer to encrypt individual files and folders rather than the whole volume. I also prefer to keep these files/folders organized as I choose rather than move them to a vault. FileWard does it easily. It also allows for the selection of the encryption algorithm. Keep up the good work.

The registered program for this is very nice. It not only allows encryption of individual files which is nice to deal with a "container," but also allows plain text to be copied to the clipboard and then pasted encrypted. I'll leave an example for you to try out. Copy the string below to your clipboard then open FileWared>Edit>Decrypt Clipboard. Then perform a paste to view the new unencrypted data. Password is "test" all lowercase without the quotes. I think that is such a cool feature.

It really looks good, nice GUI. BUT: Every time I quit FileWard and start it again, it forgets my reg-data. So I need to fill them in once more. That silly behaviour keeps on.
Mail to developer, says "maybe a damaged preference file, please delete it". But nothing changes. Further Mails have no reaction. So I asked for refunding my money and they did.
No further reaction.
Not the best support in my opinion...

I purchased the App Store version of FileWard (FileWard DES), and it's incompatible with Yosemite. This version, which requires a serial number, is compatible with Yosemite. Is this a free upgrade for those who purchased the App Store version, or is the App Store version going to be upgraded to work with Yosemite?

Well worth the shareware price for me because it's just a simple to use mac app that you drag/drop the file on to a large icon of the application and then assign a password and there it's done. No reading a thousand page manual plus there was no system patching involved.
Can't truly rate the stability until i use it for at least a month. But apparently if i don't then this post will not go thru: so for now i will give it "3".

What does this do over and above TrueCrypt? TrueCrypt is free, and works brilliantly.
