Quick File Locker

While you can always reinstall the programs on your computer or switch to ones that include the features you need, the same cannot be said about your data. In a way, this is one of the main reasons why you got a computer in the first place.

Quick File Locker is a utility that enables you to protect your data from prying eyes by locking folders with a password and encrypting the data in just a few steps.

After a quick and smooth installation, you are required to introduce a master password and you are ready to start locking directories that contain private information. You should know that the app asks for the passkey each time you launch the app and it is also required for the situation when you want to change it.

The program comes with clean and intuitive UI that is unlikely to cause any troubles even for first-time users. More exactly, you can add a directory – using the dedicated folder or with drag and drop –, access the lock button and then wait a few moments until the process is complete.

It is necessary to mention that the app integrates into Windows Explorer and hence, you can seamlessly lock and encrypt directories without having to launch the program.

In case you think you need more security for your personal files, then you can employ the application's encryption function. Encrypting the directories where you store private documents or photos is a simple matter of accessing the checkbox before pressing the lock button.

In addition to encryption, the program allows you to rename and hide the folders you are locking. You can access this feature by making sure that the setting specifying that you can only close the files in a folder is unmarked in the Options menu.

On the other hand, the app does not offer any suggestions in terms of password strength, so some users could use a weak passkey anyone can guess. Moreover, it would have been nice if the utility came with a password generator tool that supported special characters, so you do not have to waste time thinking of a suitable password.

Quick File Locker is an easy-to-use application that integrates into Windows Explorer and that enables you to lock files on your computer effortlessly.
