Hi all, I tend to use VeraCrypt container with size of 3 TB as a drive letter in the cloud. My question is how to do it? Can you advise me what software to use and how? What Cloud service can I use? I can pay Cloud with Mastercard. I'm using Microsoft Windows 11 home. I'm novice. Thank you.

Hello, Is VeraCrypt still secure to use? Should I use TrueCrypt? Thank you.

Hi RealTehreal, I unchecked Kernel Services Do not use kernel cryptograpfic services Then I used Disks in Linux Mint and formatted VeraCrypt encrypted partition with NTFS file system. It works in both systems. Thank you. Ptolemy

Hi RealTehreal, Thank you for your answer. The first partition was formatted with GParted in Linux Mint. When the second partition is mounted, it can't be formatted with GParted in Linux Mint. On the other hand it can be formatted with Disks. Let say that I would use Disks and format it. What file system should I use? Ptolemy

Hi RealTehreal, Thank you for your answer. I'm not used to this forum, so I'll try my best. Yes, I don't trust Windows 10 OS. In Windows 10 OS all sorts of unpredictable things can happen. There are so many vulnerabilities in Windows 10 OS that there is no way to prevent them all. I was thinking about EXT4 file system for second partition. In fact VeraCrypt offered me EXT4 file system as first option for second partition. I've choose NTFS file system. NTFS file system is compatible with both Windows...

Hi all, I have a new external USB HDD. Vendor isn't important in this case. HDD is 4 TB (base 10) or 3.64 TB (base 2) in size. KillDisk zero wiped all sectors on USB HDD in Linux Mint. Then GParted was used. It created GPT partition table. It used size 1.82 TB for first and size 1.82 TB for second partition. First partition was formatted as NTFS file system. It created second partition as unformatted. Then I used VeraCrypt. It encrypted second partition with default settings with NTFS file system....
