Entropy is a program for Mac computers that provides you with a simple way to create, extract, convert, and modify your archive files. This application works with a wide variety of archive formats, supports drag-and-drop action, and immediately offers you the results you require.
You can work with this Mac utility to see what's inside your archive without extracting its contents, move documents into compressed files, convert archives to other formats, and much more. I like the fact that you don't require much experience in handling compressed files in order to complete the aforementioned tasks as the program's interface is straightforward and the output settings are very simple to configure.
Another good aspect about this utility is that it provides you with powerful encryption algorithms. Furthermore, the app keeps track of all access passwords that you assigned when creating the archive files for later reference.
Briefly, Entropy proves to be a smart addition to my collection of programs. This app brings you plenty of useful features, lets you search and extract files within archives, and encrypts compressed files. What's more, the application comes with a very reasonable price.
