From helping you secure remote offices and providing confidence that the backups are safe to preventing unauthorized users from accessing your data and making decommission and deprovision easier, there are many advantages to encrypting sensitive data.

Safelock is a tiny utility designed to make encrypting and decrypting your files as painless and fast as possible.

The application does not require installation, but rather you can decompress the archive in any desired location on your local drives. Upon launch, you come face to face with a rather rugged interface. Nonetheless, it is quite intuitive and includes instructions regarding the next step to take.

Functionality-wise, the app is as simple to use as it looks, meaning that you can drag and drop the desired files or directories to encrypt it. As soon as you add the data, the program prompts you to add a password that can be as complex as desired. Moreover, as indicated by the developer, the app is capable of encrypting files as large as 2GB.

It is worth mentioning that the utility creates an SLD file whenever performing an encryption operation, a file that acts as a key for the time when you want to decrypt it. Consequentially, make sure to store it in a safe place so that you do not delete it by mistake.

As far as decrypting is concerned, you will be happy to learn that it is just as effortless. More precisely, you can drag and drop the SLD file, add the password and the directory should be unlocked. Then again, it would have been nice if the app displayed the files that you process in the GUI, as the small notification in the left lower corner might be hard to notice.

Irrespective of whether you are working remote or merely want to make sure that specific data cannot be accessed without your express permission, Safelock enables you to encrypt large files without too much hassle.
