Folder Lock is a comprehensive solution that allows you to keep your personal data encrypted and locked while also doing automatic and real-time backups of encrypted information to cloud storage. It also provides portable protection for USB drives, CDs, and DVDs. Folder Lock also allows you to lock files, folders, and drives; save personal information in Wallets; shred files; and clear your Windows History. The tool supports both 256-bit AES on-the-fly encryption and encrypted file syncing to online storage. There is no need to decrypt or manually back up your files. 

You can restore data at any moment and on any machine. Lockers can also be turned into executables using the 'Protect USB/CD' option, which allows you to carry your encrypted data with you on USB drives, CDs, and DVDs, or convert your files and folders to encrypted ZIP files for use as email attachments. 

  • Lock folders in seconds. 
  • Encrypt files on the fly. 
  • Sync and backup encrypted files.

Folder Lock allows you to password-guard files, folders, and drives; encrypt crucial files on the fly; backup them in real time; protect portable drives; shred files and drives; and keep a clean history. It is the most popular file-security app, with over 45 million users. It is compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows versions 11, 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP. Backup and sync your encrypted lockers to a dedicated secure cloud server. 

Furthermore, if you wish to safeguard your files without encrypting them, you can restrict access to and visibility of your PC's files, folders, and drives. You can also establish encrypted wallets to store personal information such as credit cards, bank accounts, and business cards. You may also shred files, folders, and disks, and free up hard drive space. You can also clear Windows' use history. In addition, the software includes previously unknown security features. 

Using an admin-level master password, you can enable password security and restrict access to specific portions of the program. The Stealth Mode functionality allows you to operate the application in complete stealth. You may also detect and respond to repeated hack attempts and erroneous password logs, as well as configure automatic duration-based protection for your data security, so you know your files are no longer accessible to anybody else when you are gone from your PC. 

Features & Highlights 

Lock folders. 
The utility can lock and hide files and folders in seconds. It allows you to Password Protect and prevent unauthorized users from reading files, folders, and drives. Once locked, a folder is concealed from its prior location and can only be accessible through the software interface. 

Encrypt your files. 
The software generates lockers. Would you like to preserve your files in a digital 'Locker' that is as secure as a bank vault? You can create 'Locker(s)' that are AES 256-bit encrypted. When accessing files, there is no need to encrypt or decrypt them; simply copy them to Locker and you're done! They are encrypted on the fly. 

Secure Backup

Folder Lock for Windows PC provides two-way encryption and internet backup for encrypted 'Lockers'. This feature allows you to build a password-protected backup of your Lockers, ensuring that the information is not only safe from prying eyes but also protected from loss or destruction. If your computer is stolen or your data is lost, you can quickly recover it from your online account. 

Protect USB. 
You can also store your Lockers on portable devices such as USB and external drives. This software transforms Lockers into executable files, eliminating the need to install the utility each time you wish to access your secured information. You may even burn them on CDs/DVDs and use password-protected zip files as email attachments. 

Password wallets 
The program allows you to construct digital wallets to protect the sensitive information you use on a regular basis, such as banking information, credit cards, transactions, ATM pins, and so on. You can make as many cards as you like in these wallets. They are encrypted when saved. 

Shred files. 
Simply deleting your files does not mean that they cannot be recovered. Shredding your files permanently removes them from your hard disk in such a way that even file recovery tools cannot retrieve them. FolderLock not only allows you to shred data, but it also allows you to shred empty disk space, ensuring that any previously deleted files are also shredded.
