Features and Highlights

Lock Folders
The tool can Lock and Hide files and folders within seconds. It enables you to Password Protect and restricts unwanted eyes from viewing files, folders, and drives. Once you’ve locked a folder, it will be hidden from its previous location and can only be accessed through the software interface.

Encrypt your Files
The app creates Lockers. Just as you would put your money in a safe, would you like to keep your files in a digital ‘Locker’ that’s safer than a bank’s vault? You can create ‘Locker(s)’ which are protected by AES 256-bit encryption. You need not encrypt or decrypt files when accessing; simply copy them to Locker and voila! They are encrypted on-the-fly.

Secure Backup
Folder Lock 10 for Windows PC offers a 2-way encryption and backup method, letting you backup your encrypted ‘Lockers’ online. This feature lets you create a password-protected backup of your Lockers so that the information is not only secured from prying eyes but is protected from loss or damage. If your PC gets stolen or data gets deleted, simply recover your data back from your online account.

Protect USB
You can also keep your Lockers in portable devices including USB and External drives. This software converts these Lockers in executable files so that you don’t need to install the tool every time you want to access your secured files. You can also burn them to CDs/DVDs and create password-protected zips for email attachments.

Password Wallets
The app lets you create digital Wallets to protect the confidential information you use on a regular basis – information such as banking details, credit cards, transactions, ATM pin, and much more. You can create as many cards as you want in these Wallets. They are encrypted when saved.

Shred Files
Simply deleting your files is no guarantee that your files cannot be recovered. Shredding your files deletes your files permanently from your hard disk in such a way that even a file recovery software cannot recover them again. FolderLock not only helps you to Shred Files, but it also lets you shred the empty drive space so that no matter what files were deleted previously, gets shredded as well.
