Why Folder Lock?
Folder Lock removes the inconvenient hassle of having to lock up or encrypt each file or folder on your computer separately. With Folder Lock, you keep all the data you want to secure in one location - your 'Locker' - and protection is automatic. Users can't delete the Lockers on the computer where Folder Lock is installed and can't uninstall the program without the correct password. Folder Lock makes encrypted files called 'Lockers' that can be moved from one location to another and can show all the encrypted data instantly once a correct password is entered.
Folder Lock doesn't restrict you to encryption, it has both encryption and locking options that you can use to protect files and folders. Encryption is suitable for people who wish to protect important files or highly sensitive data. It is also suitable for people who require to transfer data from one computer to another using email, USB/External drives or people who require to maintain secure backups of their work on Hard Drives or CD/DVD-RW. Folder Lock uses 256-bit AES on-the-fly encryption. Unlike slow encryption programs, Folder Lock's encryption takes seconds even if it is GBs of data. This is due to the advanced technology called 'Virtual Drive Encryption'. Using this technology, Folder Lock doesn't decrypt each and every file when it mounts the data contained in the 'Locker', it decrypts only those files that user want access to. Furthermore, it decrypts the content in the RAM instead of the Hard Disk. This also prevents recovery of private files from a Hard Drive since data was never there in the first place, while data decrypted in RAM is cleared automatically after a shutdown or restart.
Apart from Encryption technology, Folder Lock uses other useful methods also. If you're not bothered much about data theft, but want an easy way to block access to your data from home/casual users, Folder Lock also offers you the ability to lock and/or hide each file, folder or drive you specify without requiring you to move or copy your data to a 'Locker'. Once you've specified your desired files, folders and drives to be locked, Folder Lock will maintain a list of locked items list so that you can enable or disable the protection per item according to requirements. This removes the hassle of having to unlock and unhide each file and folder separately. Once you are done with them, you can click the 'Close to Protect' button to close your Locker. Folder Lock uses Windows Kernel Level locking mechanism to protect your files, pictures, movies, songs and private files of any type. Though locking is fast, do not consider it an alternative for encryption Folder Lock offers for important data.
Folder Lock works flawlessly on all kinds of portable devices as well, USB Flash Drive, external hard drive, pen drives, Zip drives, floppy disks, even CD/DVD-RW. All you do is, choose the 'Encrypt' option and protect files and folders you wish to protect and then copy your 'Locker' file from 'Documents' folder (which is the default location of Locker files) to your portable device or create your new Locker in the portable device. This gives you the power of taking your password protected files anywhere you want without the fear of data loss or theft. On the receiving end, the other guy can install Folder Lock to decrypt your files and folders with a correct password that you can pass him on.
