compress them into a .zip with a password. You could also hide the folder and when you need to update unhide it.
Hi guys,
This community seems to have many experts in the field of computing so it seemed like the best place for me to ask for help!
I'd like to know how I can store my own very personal notes that contain my credit card details and personal thoughts in a way that I'm the only one that can read them?
I'm very new to this forum so I'm sorry if I'm breaking any rules with this thread!
Thank you!
