### "Easy to use and effective (as far as I know !)"

February 26, 2019

4.0

General security of working files

Pros

Loads easily and once used a few times some of the quirks settle into use.

Cons

Takes a while to understand (as a novice) what some of the terminology means - took a while (for example) to get a grip on how to encrypt an external HD. But once done, works easily and well. .

### "Folder Lock"

March 1, 2019

5.0

I have used Folder Lock for a few years and I have found it to be fast, reliable and perfect for my needs. I would recommend it for use, especially if you are not very tech savvy.

Pros

I found Folder Lock easy to use from the beginning as it was easy to create lockers and encrypt data into the application. Navigation within the application was very simple as the interface was very user friendly. One of the major challenges of this type of application is that you are entrusting that if you use it, your files won't become inaccessible or lost. I can say that to this point my data has remained intact and available for access.

Cons

I found this software to be more user friendly if I was using a storage device as opposed to using the pcu's hard drive. At times there were some files that would not lock by using the drop down menu and attempting to secure them with Folder Lock.

### "This is a relief..!!!!"

October 6, 2019

5.0

We are using folder lock so we can keep our own business work privately. It helps us to do a more professional job.

Pros

Folder Lock is a great software to keep all my valuable files away from others. It simply allows me to password protect my folders where I keep all my design and quotations. Even files in USBs can be password protected.

Cons

Nothing against so far for Folder lock. It allows to lock and unlock any folder within a matter of seconds. Cannot ask for more.

### "customizable and easy to use"

February 23, 2019

4.0

I am using folder for personal use, not business. There's virtually no ambiguity when setting up, opening, or adjusting lockers. Love it.

Pros

I like the fact that I can make different lockers for different levels of security. It's also easy to understand how to make these custom lockers and adjust their size.

Cons

Very little. I do recall a time when I got locked out of my locker several years ago, and the company made me buy the newest update to get back in. As for the software itself, it's never let me down.

### "Folder Security Look No Further!"

September 13, 2019

5.0

Folder security quick and reliable, many features to rest peacefully knowing your folders are secure.

Pros

Reliable folder security, easy set up, online backup, making folder invisible. Full of excellent folder security features too many to list!

Cons

Locked files are not encrypted by default. This can be an issue for some relying for this tool to be the only folder security.

Reason for choosing Folder Lock

In the process of trying this application out before making final decision.

February 23, 2019

Generally very good

Pros

The lockbox feature which allows me to crest individual folders, each with their own password, that are secure but easy for me to access.

Cons

After a system crash in which my harddrive was damaged and logging into windows was difficult, transferring the data from one harddrive to the other was not easy

### "Great folder management system"

March 9, 2021

4.0

Overall great experience with Folder Lock from the time our group decided to try it out.

Pros

Folder Lock provides a convenient way to protect files and folders. Some of the additional features make it really nice as well, including the backup service and shredding that can be performed within.

Cons

Honestly there really isnt much bad to talk about here. One thing is the backups which was mentioned as a positive requires additional fee since does online.

### "Excellent Security Solution"

February 27, 2019

5.0

This is a great solution for security and securely transporting confidential files. The ability to encrypt and transport multiple and LARGE amounts of information is extremely convenient.

Pros

Ease of use, intuitive interface and functions. Easy to set up and implement in very short time. Cost vs. value is fantastic.

Cons

The only issue I can think of is moving it to a new computer is a little time consuming. I'd like the ability to transfer a key to a new system without the need for customer support.

February 15, 2019

Folder Lock does just what it says it will. It's rare to find a piece of software that just does it's job without any unnecessary clutter or performance issues, but so far, Folder Lock has been a performed perfectly.

Pros

Very easy to use with a nice, simple interface.

Cons

I haven't found any faults. Perhaps the interface could look a little more modern.
