A straightforward way to put a password on folders and files.

Why File Lock Pro Is a Strong Match

GiliSoft File Lock Pro gives you password-based folder security plus hide mode, read-only protection, shared-folder locking, USB folder control, and encryption. That makes it more practical than a single-purpose password wrapper.

Best Use Cases

1. Protecting HR, finance, legal, and client folders on Windows PCs.

2. Keeping private folders hidden on shared computers.

3. Securing portable folders on USB drives and external media.

Why Not Just Use Permissions

Windows permissions can work, but they are often less convenient for users who want direct password-based folder protection without account-level setup. File Lock Pro is built for that simpler workflow.
