Folder Lock lets you password-protect files, folders and drives; encrypt your important files on-the-fly; backup them in real-time; protect portable drives; shred files & drives and clean history. Folder Lock is the most downloaded file-security application with more than 45 million users. It works on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP.
Why Folder Lock?
Folder Lock is a revolutionary concept in data security that allows you to not only lock and/or encrypt your files and folders but also optionally backup your encrypted data to an online account, keeping your data synced at all times so that you won’t have to worry about the confidentiality of your data as well as data loss. Besides encryption and secure backup of your files, Folder Lock provides additional award-winning data protection features like Lock Files, Protect USB / CD, Make Wallets, Shred Files, and Clean History.
Folder Lock is the ONLY data protection with an online backup solution providing true end-to-end encryption and password protection of all your personal and confidential files at all times. With advanced government-level 256-bit AES encryption on your desktop and 128-bit encryption for all online communications, Folder Lock gives you End-to-End data security to protect all your data, thus, maintaining data confidentiality and integrity at all times.
Protecting your data and information from certain unwanted and prying eyes may become a dilemma if you end up with enough personal and private data on your computer or on your external storage devices.
Folder Lock uses government-level 256-bit AES encryption for protecting your files. Unlike slow encryption programs, the program uses on-the-fly encryption, a technology that takes seconds to encrypt – even GBs of data. Using this technology, when Folder Lock opens the data contained in a Locker, it does not decrypt each and every file. Rather, only those files and folders are decrypted; that need access. And since files are decrypted into RAM instead of the Hard Disk, this gives you an added security benefit because – 1) Recovery of files is not possible from the Hard Disk, as there was nothing there in the first place; and 2) Data decrypted in RAM is cleared automatically after a system shutdown or restart.
Following is a list of the comprehensive and award-winning features and benefits that have made Folder Lock a revolutionary product in data protection and security:
