File/Folder encryption software.
I have a request to give a file/folder encryption software.
I saw Sophos Safeguard but it seems very expensive compare to other softwares.
Anyone knows a better software whch encrypts and password protect the files/folders.
Customer wants to password protect a file and send by email and share the password privately.
Appreciate your advise.

winzip or 7zip is an option.
AxCrypt. There is a free version though at 128bits AES which should suffice as long you have a long passphrase e.g. 12 and more. For higher encryption level, 256bits will be good though with a fee.

What type of file? If a Microsoft document or PDF you can password protect the file within the application itself. Then just call/message the recipient with the password.
It also depends on level of protection required - are we talking highly sensitive data? (Payroll, medical records, etc).
There's a number of free options out there to password protect a file but once unlocked you have to re-protect the file in question (plus not sure how well-protected the file will be).
We've used ESET Deslock (ESET Endpoint Encryption) in the past for some clients which allows the encryption and protection of files/emails using passwords or security certificates.

You can use zip + encrypt the zip file...
zip --encrypt file.zip file
Or best security will be using openssl...openssl aes-256-cbc -salt -in file -out file.encrypted
