Works good for all the features it provides. > > **Cons**: The support is poor. Lifetime upgrades licensing is not available. Not much advanced features. ----- ### "Folder Lock - An ultimate tool to securely keep your private data and files" — 5.0/5 > **Ravinder** | *23 December 2019* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Folder Lock is one of the very intuitive and easy to use solution to lock and protect your files. It allows you to encrypt your files on the go with military-grade encryption technology. Users can create storage lockers that are dynamic in size and grows as per the user’s data storage needs. The secure backup feature of the Folder lock allows you to back up your files or data on the cloud server automatically. Any modification in the files is automatically synced in real-time. Password wallets feature allows you to securely save your credit/debit card and banking information using strong encryption technology. Other important features include Clear History and Shred files. Clear History allows you to clear your digital footprints on the web-browser, media players and Window history. Shred files feature allows you to completely delete your data on hard drives, USB devices which can’t be recovered. > > **Cons**: Looks like there is Folder Lock app for Window and Android but not for iOS desktop. Security can be improved as there is no app which is 100% secure. I could not find any bad in the product. > > Being a legal industry, client data security is utmost along-with proper shredding of the data. So, Folder Lock serves our purpose. ----- ### "Too notch security" — 5.0/5 > **Allan** | *3 September 2021* | International Affairs | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the most useful things about Folder Lock is that it gives more options beyond just locking container folders. Individual files and external drives can also be equally protected with Folder Lock. With file encryption in addition to password protection, there is very little more I could have expected. > > **Cons**: It’s a bit pricy when compared to other alternatives that provide similar services. > > Folder Lock is a really great software to have. The stealth features allow me to not only enjoy the protections being offered, but to do so quietly as well.... so that someone close does not know that there’s something specifically being hidden. Also, I have enjoyed the additional backup service it provides. This reduces the possibility of permanent file loss almost entirely. ----- ### "Good product with quirks" — 3.0/5 > **Shelly** | *16 February 2019* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the concept but found it difficult to use. The customer support was quick, but they understand the product and how to use it and so have difficulty understanding what the lay person does not get. I worked my way through getting it set up on the computer. I am fairly satisfied. My biggest complaint on the computer is that when you shut down computer and have the program off (you need to turn it off to work) it does not remind you to lock the folder again. > > **Cons**: --I never could get it to work on an flash-drive--i asked for help and they simply repeated what the instructions said and could not get what I couldn't get. I gave up on the flash-drive and just use it with my computer > > They are nice--but too knowledgeable. In other words--because they understand how the product works, they can't understand why a lay person doesn't understand simple functions. I code webpages and do all kinds of digital products so I am not ignorant--but I could not get the basic function for using a folder on a flash drive. There is somehting wrong when I can't figure out a basic function of a product. ----- ### "protect your data with Folder Lock" — 5.0/5 > **Ruwan** | *28 April 2021* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: User friendly interface, data can be protected using a password and can be categorized as per the need. Ability to lock the portable storage devices can be recognized as an outstanding feature. so no need to worry about the security when data is transferred by portable devices. Another useful feature is users can backup the data. Therefore, folder lock can be used to secure your files since it has various outstanding features compared to other platforms > > **Cons**: I have not faced to any difficulty or issue with this software upto now and it is capable of providing the service what we need exactly. > > I am using this software for my mobile and pc since 2017 and it is a very user friendly software. I had no issues with this upto now. So I highly recommend this software. ----- Page: 1 / 25\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/146898/folder-lock?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/146898/folder-lock) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
