I want to encrypt my files and folders without full disk encryption and encrypted volumes. Can anyone help me?

@NikTh this is not a duplicate of that question, I didn't want encrypted volumes like truecrypt– GnomeJan 2, 2014 at 5:20

Here is a bunch of questions-answers about encryption/decryption of every kind. I'm pretty sure that this has been already answered.– NickTuxJan 2, 2014 at 5:24

This site should give you all the information you need. The link was found at upubuntu.com. Here is a direct quote from the site:
"encrypt or decrypt your files using the Nautilus context menu (right-click menu) under Ubuntu"
- Add a PGP key so that you can encrypt your files with it, by opening "Passwords and Keys", click the add button, select "PGP Key", then click Continue.
- Add the seahorse-nautilus plugin with
sudo apt-get install seahorse-nautilus && nautilus -q && nautilus
- Right click to pick any file and then select Encrypt In a pop-up, pick your key, set "Sign message as: Your key" and click OK. Another pop-up asks for the passphrase which matches up w/ the PGP key.

Please at least include (you can quote) something from this link that answers the question. A simple link is not considered as an answer at all. It is just a link.– NickTuxJan 2, 2014 at 5:33
