    Wife needs to transfer sensitive financial information from a mac to a PC once a week. This is done by copying to a memory stick & then copying to a PC

    She wants to encrypt all three devices but primarially the memory key as that's the most likely to be lost.

    Any suggestions for what she could use?

    Veracrypt is cross platform and should meet your encryption needs.

    She can't email it?

    The PC is not on their internal network, although it does have wifi. Email is not an option as the files are several GB in size.

    Veracrypt as someone else mentioned.

    However i'd probably be a fan of going down the built in encryption on the Windows/Mac (Bitlocker/FileVault) presuming the Windows is relatively new version. Then you can easily pick up an encrypted USB or encrypt one with Veracrypt.
