BitLocker vs VeraCrypt?
Hello
As far as I understand BitLocker allows only to encrypt entire disk. I need to encrypt my personal files (financial documents, identifications) in fast reliable and flexible way. I was using TrueCrypt in past and it was very convenient - create folder , put there all relevant files and then encrypt the entire folder. I'm not interested to encrypt a whole drive. I think it is slowing down the computer and also IMO is less secure than specific folder encryption because if computer is left open or I need to let someone to check something in my computer than all files are visible. As far as I know TrueCrypt successor is VeraCrypt but since my upgrade to Windows 10 I haven't tried any encryption software.
My questions are:
1.What would be downsides of using VeraCrypt instead of BitLocker in long run?
2.Is VeraCrypt considered to be good reliable alternative to Windows default BitLocker for professional purposes(like encrypting sensitive business documents) ? Is there any tool more standard ,better to consider?
Thanks in advance
