Folder Lock

Folder Lock is a set of tools that provide security for your data. With the help of this program you can encrypt files and folders with the AES 256-bit algorithm, keep backups of encrypted Lockers in Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive, as well as securely store data on removable media. The program also allows you to lock and hide files and folders, securely store your passwords, wallets and notes, and permanently shred data that should not fall into the hands of third parties.

With Folder Lock you can quickly hide files and protect them with a password. All you have to do is drag and drop these files into the program. By opening the program, you can run the necessary files directly from the list without extracting them from the storage. Storage (or Lockers) is dynamic: the encrypted virtual drive grows as you add data, so you do not have to reserve a large size in advance. Several storages can be opened simultaneously and data can be moved from one storage to another. In addition, you can turn storages into encrypted Portable Lockers for USB drives and CDs using the 'Protect USB' function. Thus, access to the data can be provided even without installing the program itself on the computer.

In order to just hide the files, you need to drag and drop them to the list on the Lock Folders tab. The files will no longer be visible in the folder where they were stored, even in Safe Mode, because the program uses a kernel-level driver. This is the easiest way to protect your files from unauthorized access. However, you can not only hide the files, but also encrypt them. To do this, go to the Encrypt Files tab. You need to create a Locker first. To do this, there is a step-by-step wizard where you need to specify a password and the Locker location. After the storage is created, a folder will open where you need to drag and drop the necessary files (to the folder, not to the program). This folder will open each time you open Locker.

The main benefit of using Folder Lock software is its ability to provide robust security for your data through encryption and password protection.

Frequently asked questions:

How to uninstall the program? You can uninstall the program only by going to "Settings" and then clicking on the "Uninstall Program" button on the "General Settings" tab. Access to the program options is only available to users who know the password. This is done for the security of your data.

How to start a program if it is in Stealth mode? If the program is not displayed in the Start menu, in the Quick Start panel, on the desktop and in the list of installed programs, it can be started only by using the key combination. This combination should have been specified when you activated the Stealth mode. If you don't remember the key combination, it may still be the default one, namely CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + 'Your Button'. The last key of this combination is chosen by the user in the Stealth Mode settings.

Someone deleted files from the Program Files folder where the Folder Lock program was installed. What to do? Just restart the program installation. All files will be restored and the password to the encrypted data will remain the same. In addition, the activation of the program is not canceled.
