Securing a USB Flash Drive - Need Help

Hello Folks,

I have a Corsair Survivor Stealth flash drive that I am currently using to carry documents on the go, daily. These documents are of course backed up on separate drives as fail-safe. I wanted to know if there is a way I could secure the drive (encryption) through a software? I was reading online and Veracrypt seems to be the most recommended software to do this. Is it a good, trusty option?

The drive will only be used on my home desktop PC and work laptop, that’s it.

TIA

yeah Veracrypt is good u can also use Cryptomater to store the data on cloud storage as well [since its encrypted it won’t be an issue and +1 copy of a backup] u can also use luks if u want to try

now that I read u already have a backup drive now since Veracrypt requires u to sync the whole encrypted part for any small change u will have to backup the whole allocation u gave to Veracrypt but with Cryptomater it encrypts individual files so its easier to backup in increment [this is what I remember]

+1 for cryptomator, I use it daily for my cloud stuff. Will work just fine on USB drive.
