A+ Folder Locker Free Edition is an intuitive application that comes packed with advanced encryption algorithms for helping users protect their important files and folders from unauthorized access.

It sports a clean and straightforward interface that allows users to create data storage “lockers” by specifying the name, picking the category (personal or work) and saving directory, inserting the size of the locker, selecting the compression level (high, medium or low) and encryption algorithm (e.g. Blowfish, Serpent, DES, Ice), and setting up passwords.

What’s more, you can enable anti-hacker protection and make the program destroy the locker if the password was entered incorrectly for a specified number of times. The app gives users the possibility to lock, unlock or delete the selected locker, as well as erase its content.

A+ Folder Locker Free Edition also bundles data concealing options for helping you disguise sensitive information in different files. You can add files and folders to the list by using the “drag and drop” support or built-in browse function, encrypt the hidden data by specifying the algorithm and password, select the disguised file type (BMP, JPEG or WAV), and enter the filename.

The shredding option enables users to delete files and folders permanently from their computer, so data cannot be recovered with some other dedicated tools. You can drag the files directly into the shredding dialog and select the ones to be purged.

Other important features worth mentioning give you the possibility to pick the password type (based on text or a drawn password pattern), add more categories to the list for organizing the lockers, and enable stealth mode.

All things considered, A+ Folder Locker Free Edition provides powerful encryption algorithms and many dedicated parameters for helping you protect data safely and efficiently. Thanks to its clean and intuitive layout, it is suitable for beginners and experts alike.
