I'm trying to encrypt work folders on my mac because I'm sending my computer in for servicing. How do I do this?

Let’s try and break this down a bit. What do you mean by “encrypting folders”?
assistant
I mean password protecting work sensitive folders so I don't have to worry about anything when my computer is being serviced.
user
I see, so you're wanting to ensure the computer will be secure while being serviced, but without using a system like FileVault?

Ah, OK, I get it.  I also want to check if I understand you correctly.  Do you mean that you’d like to protect your files, or do you want to hide the files completely from people who can access your computer?
