4. Click the “New Image” icon to create a new disk image, enter a name for the image, and select a size adequate for the size of your folder you created in step 2 (usually should be little bigger, e.g. 50 MB here). Set the encryption to “none” (if you don’t want set password for it) and format to “read/write disk image”
