I want to encrypt ~/Documents only. I have no problem using the terminal while setting it up. But most of the resources on internet only shows how to access the encrypted directories via terminal only.
Is there a graphical way too?

Please walk me through the whole process. Setting up encryption and accessing it.

Thank you.

It basically created a encrypted particular user accessible folder which gets decrypted everytime we log in That's kinda cool thumb:
