11. How Folder Lock Works as CD Data Locking Software?
Folder Lock is a file encryption software that offers more than just encryption and locking of files and folders in your hard drive or portable drives. It can function very well as a CD data locking software as it doesn’t restrict as to where you wish to keep your lockers. You can easily burn your Lockers to rewritable or writable CDs and DVDs. Once you create a Locker with Folder Lock and add your important files in it, you may use a third-party burning software to burn a copy of that Locker to your CDs.
Folder Lock applies strong password locking protection to ensure maximum level of protection and gives a hassle-free way of keeping secure backup of encrypted files in CDs and DVDs. With Folder Lock you can lock and encrypt files and folders of any size, and even a complete drive can be very easily password protected.
Never before was any software developed that can lock CD data with such ease and simplicity because of the complications involved in burning data in CDs and DVDs. However, Folder Lock makes it possible to protect data on any such medium and ensures that all of your files locked in CDs/DVDs are completely safe and secured.
Folder Lock works as CD/DVD Data Locking Software and to use its CD data locking feature, you first need to create a ‘Locker’ on your hard drive, add your data to that Locker and then simply burn this Locker to a CD/DVD (R-RW) and your data is protected.
To protect / encrypt your files in a CD-R or CD-RW, all you need to do is insert the media into your CD-RW device and then burn an already created Locker to your CD-R or CD-RW. For this, you need a CD/DVD burning software. You can use Burn4Free which is a free CD/DVD burning software. Download Burn4Free from http://www.burn4free.com/ and install this software. Now simply right-click the locker file (*.flk file) and select Burn4Free from context menu > Burn.
You can also use Nero (paid) or InfraRecorder (free) software to copy the Locker file (*.flk file) to your writeable CD or DVD. Make sure your Locker is closed while you are burning your locker file. You can access these files directly from your CD or DVD by using Folder Lock and providing the correct password without the need of copying it to your computer later.
Please note that to use this CD Data Locking Software, it is must that you first create your Locker on your hard drive, and then burn it on your CD/DVD, since you cannot create a Locker in CD/DVD-RW directly using Folder Lock's browse for Locker Path. You can use CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R and DVD-RW discs to perform this task. This way you can always keep a secure backup of your encrypted files and folders in a CD/DVD.
