The ability to safely store your private data is tantamount to having an electrified fence around your home to protect yourself and loved ones from interlopers that intend to do them harm. It should be no different than the physical protection of your private files and folders from unauthorized access. Internal or external no matter.
Here you will find a nice grouping of useful file and folder lock apps that are perfect for helping you in the never-ending quest to keep what is yours safe and secure from prying eyes or data thieves.
Quick File Locker allows you to easily hide, lock and protect your sensitive data.
It provides a secure option for locking down videos, documents, and pictures keeping them hidden from prying eyes.
Quick File Locker quickly locks and encrypts folders, files, or USB drives ensuring your privacy. The entire process is extremely easy to put in motion and allows you to lock files with a simple drag and drop or via a right-click within Windows Explorer. Additionally, Quick File Locker includes a stealth-mode operation that will protect locked data even when in safe mode.
DeadLock is a lightweight file lock management utility designed specifically to unlock files that you’re unable to delete, rename or move.
The main goal of DeadLock is to unlock files that have been locked by other processes. The user will not be able to delete/rename/remove a file when it is in use by a process. Sometimes this can be annoying. Especially if the program that has a lock on the file is not responding or contains a bug. DeadLock tries to solve this issue by killing the processes that are responsible for the locked file.
DeadLock also supports drag and drop functionality. You can drag and drop files on the main window in order to view their status or open a file using the ‘Open file(s)...’ functionality.
Secret Disk can create an additional invisible disk on your PC, which you can easily lock with a password within seconds allowing you to keep your confidential files and folders secure and invisible to prying eyes.
There is no need to format your hard disk or make any changes to boot sector. This program will automatically create a new disk very quickly. You can store any files and folders on the disk. Secret disk works as usual hard disk and compatible with any other programs which you have installed. You can have more than one secret disk and you can also choose disk letter.
In case there is a power outage or fatal error in your Windows OS secret disk will be locked and become invisible automatically. It happens automatically because information is stored in the virtual memory. Secret Disk does not encrypt any files, it just limits access to your files (you can use a password). Software ties virtual disk to your files. This will provide you enough security to hide your files from any person.
