Protect Folder is a small software application designed specifically for helping you encrypt your folders by setting up passwords.
You are welcomed by a well-organized set of functions that allows you to add the directory that you want to encrypt in the working environment using the built-in browse button, so you cannot rely on the drag-and-drop support.
You may integrate the tool within the context menu, so you can easily lock the desired directory.
Protect Folder gives you the possibility to pick the desired folder, specify a user-defined password, compress the protected folder, as well as make the program show or hide the passwords.
Basically, it proves to be nothing more than a piece of cake to work with this utility, as you only need to configure the aforementioned parameters and press on the “Lock Folder” button in order to trigger the task.
On the downside, the app doesn’t offer support for different encryption algorithms that you could help you add an extra protection layer to your sensitive data.
During our testing we have noticed that the tool processes small directories very quickly but it needs some extra time when dealing with large folders. It is not quite friendly with system resources, so the overall performance of the computer may be hampered.
All things considered, Protect Folder offers a straightforward software solution for helping you password-protect the content stored within user-defined folders, and is suitable for all types of users, regardless of their experience level.
What's new in Protect Folder 3.0:
- NEW : Password recovery option – If you protect a folder with password, Protect Folder will request you an email to recover you password in case you loose it (optional).
- NEW : Choose working directory – It’s now possible to choose a working directory, this will have all the temporary files. Useful if you have low disk space and need to choose another location.
- NEW : Protecting an empty folder – We don’t judge, so if you want to protect an empty folder, it’s up to you and it’s now available!
- NEW : Cancel (un)Protection – Change your mind? It’s fine, you can now cancel it if you’re not too further in the protection operation.
