Review by Frederick Barton (Cybersecurity Editor)

on 28 Feb 2019

Placing files in a deep and complex folders structure is not an adequate way of protecting them. PassFolk Free Folder Locker offers an effective way of protecting data, which doesn't require too much effort from your part. The software is capable of encrypting entire folders, using 256-bit AES algorithm, which makes their contents impossible to access. You can lock and hide important work-related documents, bank statements, personal journal entries or that secret cake recipe, and rest assured that no one will be able to break in, regardless of how hard they try.

PassFolk Free Folder Locker is a donationware application, which means that you can have it for free, but you can donate if you want to support further developments. Downloading and installing the software shouldn't take more than a minute, even on slower machines. It doesn't ask for too many resources, and it doesn't rely on any special tools or services.

You can encrypt folders in just a few seconds, by adding them to a list, through a standard browsing option, and typing a password on a small window. Additionally, the software lets you pick an additional action, like hiding the folder or encrypting the entire partition. Encrypted folders appear with different icons in Windows Explorer, and there is no use trying to open them because nothing will happen when you double-click them. Also, all your encrypted folders are listed on the software's user interface, and you can decrypt individual items at any time in just a few seconds.

Besides encrypting folders, the software can disguise them as well, which is an interesting feature that you don't see in all data protection utilities. Instead of preventing access to your folder or hiding it from view, the software will turn it into a shortcut for another location on your hard drive. For example, if you open a disguised documents folder, you will end up opening the Recycle Bin. Disguised folders are displayed in a list, just like encrypted ones, and restoring them is just as easy as decrypting.

You can definitely count on PassFolk Free Folder Locker to deliver a powerful and reliable data security solution.

Pros

You can encrypt entire folders at a moment's notice. The software can also disguise folders. It works fast, and its controls are easy to master.

Cons

There are no obvious drawbacks to mention.
