Protected Folder provides you with an effective way to hide sensitive documents from unauthorized users. This application allows you to lock folders and files so that they are inaccessible to other users. Aside from being inaccessible, these locked files will also be invisible to other Windows applications.

One great thing about this application is that it is very simple to use. All you have to do is drag and drop the files you would like to protect onto the interface. You may also use the context menu to choose the appropriate option for your files to be stored.

You also have the option to block writing and reading access. This will ensure that your files cannot be read, copied, modified, deleted, etc. There is also an exclude option that allows you to filter the files you do not wish to protect. The downside of this software program is that it doesn't offer any other settings beyond this.

Protected Folder is an excellent software program if you would like an easy and effective way to secure your files. The application delivers on what it says it will do. However, if you are looking for a more advanced security app, Protected Folder might not fit what you are looking for. This application is designed for basic users.
