Do you have files on your phone that you don’t want to get into the wrong hands? Folder Lock allows you to encrypt the files.
The app uses AES-256-bit encryption for the encryption and the makers have mainly focused on keeping the operation and encryption fast. That is nice, because such an app is only successful if you as a user have minimal problems with it.
The program is made up of several tabs, each of which gives access to a specific set of files. Think of photos, videos and documents. The access itself is protected by a password. Make sure you don’t lose the password: there’s no way to find it out, and the creators of Folder Lock don’t have access to the files either.
Also useful is the possibility to delete files in a safe way: the app ensures that the deleted data is overwritten several times with random data, so that there is little chance that these files can still be viewed. Try Folder Lock with a few test files first and then get started with your real files.
