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.
