  • 1.  Best Mac solution for reading external drive encrypted with PGP Desktop for Windows

    Posted Dec 08, 2015 04:52 PM

    I have a user with a Mac that has an external drive that was encrypted with PGP Desktop for Windows and would like to share that drive with her Mac.  Symantec has so many products.  What's the right one that will accept the PGP passphrase and read the drive on OS X?

    The only problem is Symantec doesn't seem to offer the PGP Encryption Desktop for Mac product anymore.  Hence the title of the post.  I need the best solution.  The only application they have for drives now is Symantec Drive Encryption.  I need to know if an external drive was encrypted with PGP Desktop for Windows, can it be read with Symantec Drive Encryption.  I would think it would as long as the user used the passphrase for the drive.
