Keep Folder Safe

Keep Folder Safe is a lightweight utility that allows you to protect private folders stored on your computer. The program can lock the selected folder, thus rendering it inaccessible to any user who operates your computer. It is a simple and suitable tool for keeping important data away from prying eyes.

Keep Folder Safe is as easy to use as it sounds. It can easily lock any folder on your computer, thus blocking any user’s access to it. It applies a simple, yet powerful algorithm, that locks the folder to any user, including yourself.

The process is simple: open the application, select the Lock function and choose the desired folder. The progress bar indicates whether the process is successful or if errors are encountered. Once locked, the folder icon turns into a closed padlock to mark its status.

Keep Folder Safe does not allow you to access a locked folder. To access its contents, you need to Unlock the directory: simply select the dedicated function in the program’s interface, then choose the folder.

The algorithm used by Keep Folder Safe to lock the directories is designed to withstand most brute force or security cracking methods. Nevertheless, the locked folders are marked with the padlock icon, which makes them easy to recognize.

Moreover, the access to Keep Folder Safe’s interface is not protected with a password or another similar method, so any user who knows about it can easily unlock any folder.

Given the easy access to unlocking any folder, you can hide Keep Folder Safe’s icon or move it to a less visible location, as an extra security measure. You can easily install the application in a custom folder, other than the default one, Program Files. It is lightweight and does not require additional software installed on your PC.
