Folder Castle

Folder Castle is a powerful software that provides two levels of protection for your data, protecting it from thieves and snoopers. The first level of protection involves locking away files and folders, while the second level involves putting files into Secure Storage with on-the-fly AES-256 encryption. Regardless of the level of protection you choose, you can be sure that your files cannot be seen in Windows Explorer, even if the computer is rebooted in Safe Mode.

For added peace of mind, Folder Castle also comes with Windows Stealth Mode, which hides the presence of the software itself. Additionally, this software integrates seamlessly into Windows Explorer, including context menu, toolbar and hotkeys, making it easy to use.

Protecting data is straightforward, simply click on the file or folder you want to protect and select the Hide option from the right-click menu. Alternatively, you can use the Add File dialog or a drag and drop operation to add files to the list of protected data. True touch typists will also appreciate the ability to protect files using hotkeys.

Unhiding files is just as simple. All you need to do is run Folder Castle and remove files from the list, with a password required to confirm each operation. The result is that once protected, your personal data is hidden from anyone who is unauthorized, ensuring that it cannot be viewed, copied or deleted.

Folder Castle also offers a unique way to take your protected data with you anywhere. Simply create Secure Storage on a removable drive, put files in it, and you're free to roam without fear of data loss or theft. To access the files, all you need to do is plug the USB drive into the USB port, mount the drive and open the storage. The only caveat is that another computer will need to have Folder Castle installed. However, this is not an issue if you register as the buyer of a single-user license is allowed to install Folder Castle on three computers - home, office and laptop. Overall, Folder Castle is an essential tool for anyone looking to keep their data secure.
