How to Send Documents in a Password Protected Zip File on Mac

Sending documents securely is crucial to protect sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands. One effective way to do this on a Mac is by sending them in a password-protected zip file. This ensures that even if the file is intercepted, it cannot be accessed without the correct password.

To create a password-protected zip file on a Mac, follow these steps:

1. Locate the documents you want to send and select them.
2. Right-click on the selected documents and choose 'Compress' from the drop-down menu.
3. A zip file will be created. Rename the zip file if needed.
4. Next, double click on the zip file to open it.
5. Locate the file menu and select 'File' then 'Encrypt [filename]'.
6. Enter a secure password and verify it.
7. Click 'Encrypt File'.
8. Your documents are now securely packed in a password-protected zip file ready to be shared.

By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your documents remain secure while being transmitted.
