| 1355597 | 2013-10-10 00:01:00 | I am guessing there is no password protection feature avilable when using the Windows 7 built in zipping utility. If there is a way then i would appreciate any help If I resort to third party tool like WinZip or WinRAR to zip a file and put a password on it, then will it open fine on say a MacOS or iPad running iOS device that does nothave those utility, as long I provide the password to the other party ? Thanks |

| 1355599 | 2013-10-10 00:32:00 | I agree, zip file passwords are pathetic . But i just need to do a one of transfer of a file to skydrive and then have someone download it from Sky drive o ntheir PC I just wanted to add a layer of security since that PC to which it will be downloaded to is a shared PC between 2 users . |

| 1355601 | 2013-10-10 20:09:00 | 7-Zip is free and will do it, I'm sure it's secure enough to keep out the average user despite the concerns mentioned above. Of course I have no need to secure anything I send so this is all theoretical |
