### "As far as I know"

February 23, 2019

5.0

I have no way of safely finding out if this program can be hacked to access the files but so far so good. No one can open the folder without the password.

Pros

The folder disappears from Explorer view.

Cons

Lock program can become confused is you do not close the folder before closing the program. You will certainly learn to close the folder in Folder Lock before closing the Folder Lock program.

### "Do NOT forget your password!"

February 17, 2019

4.0

I was trying to secure folders and files belonging to clients. When I encountered the issue above I resorted to a USB stick that came with built in security software. I

Pros

\- Initial setup was simple and quick. - Works well to lock your folders and files.

Cons

There needs to be a master override or reset. I did not use the software for a while then tried to use it again but couldn’t remember my password. I tried reinstalling but couldn’t get past the the need to enter my old password. I sought help from your customer support but never got a satisfactory response. Eventually uninstalled the software quite a long time ago.

### "My Information Safeguard For Almost 15 Years"

February 22, 2019

5.0

I need to be sure that personal and confidential information remains securely stored away from anyone that may access my computer directly or remotely including my own IT Department. I store annual reviews/evaluations that must remain confidential along with passwords and other important documents. Folder Lock is the easiest program I have found to fill my needs.

Pros

Easy to use to secure any type of file. The secure folder serves as a simple place to drag and drop any folder, document, photo, or whatever type of file you wish to lock securely away.

Cons

I honestly have not found anything that I don't like about the software.

### "Encryption"

September 30, 2021

4.0

Pros

This folder lock can be applied to a single picture or a complete folder with a single click.

Cons

Every one want their data to be encrypted but don't want others to sense that security issue. It will be good if there is way other than icon of the folder lock on screen or hide data option while pressing screen for multiple seconds.

### "In general worth of money"

February 22, 2019

4.0

Pros

I have been using Folder Lock for years and seeing how it has been developed during this year to become a product covering many different functionalities is really amazing to see.

Cons

The upgrade procedure is still a bit cumbersome since you end up on the website where you are expected to download the "Free Version" of the product to upgrade your registered product, which is not straightforward. I wish there had been a personal website, where I could see my earlier purchases, license code and even download the latest versions.

Pros

Very reliable and trust worthy. You can store it in this software and you can forget about the secracy any more .. Recent updates further addressed the minor issues and became more stable off late.. value for money ..

Password recovery feature can be further simplified and outlook can be changed to avoid monotonicity .

### "Great Encryption Software"

February 22, 2019

5.0

I used to use other encryption software in the past, but development stopped on those. When looking, I was evaluating price vs features. There are plenty of options, but I liked the interface for this one and the price. So far I have not regretted Folder Lock. Had good reviews as well. I do recommend this to others.

Pros

I like the fact it is easy to use, and I can have multiple lockers. I feel like my files are safe and secure.

Cons

There are a few things that I haven't been able to do, but I am not sure if that is me or my system. Things like format a locker as NTFS. That option doesn't seem to be available to me. But I think that may be more my understanding than the software. But it has been pretty minor.

I suggest this program to all of our new agents as a cost-effective, user-friendly, secure way to protect Client information, packed with lots of useful features to keep things secure. I would recommend this to all!

Pros

FolderLock is very easy to use, has other options for security as well. Great for protecting PHI and PII!

I have used FolderLock for YEARS and haven't found one yet!

### "I love folder lock"

February 23, 2019

5.0

I am using folder lock for more than 3 years. In these 3 years I never felt any problem in using folder lock.

Pros

Folder Lock is the best place to safe keeping of my private files which I do not want to share with anyone.

Cons

I like most folder lock among all other apps that allows me to safety of my private files. So there is no question rise about "least like".

### "Folder Lock"

March 1, 2019

3.0

Keeping confidential files confidential.

Pros

The ease of use. The user interface is straightforward and usable without having to delve into documentation.

Cons

It doesn't handle USB flash drives reliably. I've noticed failures to lock folders on flash devices which are lockable on main drives. As a result, I don't use it for flash drives. One of the key areas customers expect for an application is technical support. I'm disappointed that the 'support' option on the application just takes you to main web site actually has no specific entry for 'support' problem lodgment. The 'support' option on the application itself is just a user manual.

### "A Fab Product"

February 15, 2019

5.0

Despite my comments above, I use it a lot especially for USB drives. Overall experience is very good and I’d definitely recommend it.

Pros

The confidence this level of security gives. The Folder Lock for e.g. is really good, simple enough to use.

Cons

The Folder Lock for non portable drives i.e. what I would imagine is the main product, I found too confusing with a lot of unnecessary functionality cluttering the experience. My ideal would be a primary program as simple as the non portable one and even that could benefit from a strip down.

### "Folder Lock Review"

July 23, 2019

5.0

With cyber security on the rise this would be a good option to consider, however it may be overkill for some.

Pros

Protection is unmatched compared to similar products used. Variety of options for different requirements of encryption.

Cons

Terminology for different encryption can be a misleading, also costly.
