This lock is what’s encrypted-think of it as putting your folder in a virtual safe.
Rather than encrypting the folder and its contents, Folder Lock puts a ‘lock’ on it. It’s also possible to use Folder Lock to hide folders, password-protect backups stored on a secure cloud server, and digitally shred any folder you no longer need. Software like Windows BitLocker and AES Crypt incorporates advanced security protocols to keep your folders safe.įolder Lock follows suit, with AES (advanced encryption standard) 256-bit security.
Although it’s possible to use Windows’ own built-in password protection and folder security options, you might want something a bit more robust.
