What is Folder Lock

Folder Lock is a program that allows you to lock folders on your computer to prevent other people from opening them. If you have files that you don't want anyone else to see, Folder Lock can help. It can help protect valuable passwords, confidential files, and other files that are private.

The program allows multiple ways to keep your files safe from other people who may use your computer. You will no longer have to worry about letting others use your personal computer. Folder Lock is only available on Windows computers. It is a quick download that doesn't take up much space on your hard drive.

Folder Lock is integrated with Windows Explorer, making it easy to lock your important files. To lock your files or folders, simply right-click on the file and then choose to lock or shred it. Locking your files this way is fastest, but you can also open the program interface for additional options. The software also allows you to encrypt your files, protect USB thumb drives, email attachments, and CDs and DVDs.

Folder Lock is extremely flexible and lets you create an encrypted Wallet to store important information such as bank data and addresses. You can then upload all of your files to the cloud so that they are protected and accessible from anywhere. The configuration settings in Folder Lock are also password protected to prevent other users from trying to get into your locked files.

The most recent version of Folder Lock has an improved user friendly GUI that makes it easier to use. It is also compatible with Windows 8, and has faster encryption and decryption compared to previous versions.

Folder Lock is a great program that can keep your important files completely safe from prying eyes. With the new features on this version, your files will be even more protected than before.
