Zipping Files with Password on Mac

Mac offers a convenient way to zip files and add a password for secure sharing or storage. Here's how to do it:

1. Locate the file or folder you want to zip.
2. Control-click on the file or folder, then select 'Compress [name]'.
3. A .zip file will be created in the same location.
4. Next, open Terminal.
5. Enter the following command: zip -e archive.zip file1.jpg file2.png
6. You will be prompted to enter a password. Type your desired password (it won't show on the screen).
7. Confirm the password by entering it again when prompted.
8. Your files are now zipped with a password!

Remember to safely share or store the password to access the zipped files later.
