Working alongside the Locker encryption model is Secure Backup, a service to copy the encrypted drives to the Cloud. This solution is helpful if you want to centralise all your sensitive files in one folder structure, though this might not work for those files that need to exist in specific places on your system.īundles allow quick selection of processor, memory and storage, along with the OS of choice (Image credit: NewSoftwares LLC) The alternative protection method is the Locker, where files and folders reside to a virtual encrypted drive, and to access them can be controlled by opening the Locker. If you then decide the contents no longer needs security, you can unlock an item, and it will return to the normal status and location. Instead, while a lock is active, it temporarily disappears, only to reappear when you choose. In this mode, the file or folder doesn’t move from where it usually lives. The functionality that most will use for convenience is Lock Folders, where you can drag files and folders to the application and apply password protection to them in the application. And, it also offers some housekeeping functionality to erase the Windows paper-trail of temporary files and usage history.įile security is provided in two distinct approaches, one where the items are locked in place and another where you drag them to a managed Locker where they are encrypted. It can also secure those files to the Cloud or to a secure USB key, manage Password Wallets and Shred files. And, once the application is on your system, it can lock files and folders easily.īut protecting sensitive data isn’t the only trick that Folder Lock can perform.

What’s excellent about Folder Lock is that you can get it installed and working in a remarkably small about of time. (Image credit: NewSoftwares LLC) Features
