Steps to Sync Files Across All Devices with Folder Lock
Prerequisites
To sync files across mobile and other PC devices, make sure you download the Folder Lock apps for iOS, Android, or macOS first. You'll find links or a QR code for these within the Folder Lock desktop application.
Step 1: Open Folder Lock and Log In
- Launch the Folder Lock application on your computer.
- Log in to your account using your password.
Step 2: Go to the "Sync" Option
- After logging in, look at the bottom navigation bar on the main Folder Lock screen.
- Click on the "Sync" option. This tab is where you manage all your device synchronization settings.
Step 3: Set Your Default Sync Locker
- In the "Sync" tab, make sure the "Sync" toggle is ON.
- Then, from the dropdown menu, choose the cloud locker (like "Google Drive Locker" if you've set it up) that you want to use for syncing your encrypted data across all devices. If this sync option is off, your data will just stay on your computer in the Desktop Locker.
Step 4: Get Folder Lock Apps for Your Other Devices
Stay in the "Sync" tab and scroll down. You'll see sections to "Download the Apps for devices below."- For your iPhone/iPad (iOS): Click "Available on the App Store" or scan the QR Code with your iOS device.
- For your Android phone/tablet: Click "GET IT ON Google Play" or scan the QR Code with your Android device.
- For your Apple computer (macOS): Click "Download app for macOS."
- Install the Folder Lock application on all these devices.
Step 5: Put Files in the Cloud Locker to Sync
-
Open Your Mobile Locker
From the Folder Lock Home interface, click on "Open" (or "Decrypt" if the locker is currently closed) next to your chosen default sync locker (e.g., Google Drive Locker). This action will reveal the default location of your Mobile Locker on your desktop.
-
Drag and Drop Files
Now, simply drag and drop or copy and paste the files you want synced directly into this opened Mobile Locker folder. Any file placed here will be automatically encrypted by Folder Lock and then securely synchronized with your chosen cloud service, making it accessible across all your linked devices.
-
Sync & Encryption Status
Once you've set your default sync locker (e.g., Google Drive Locker) in the desktop app, simply drag and drop or copy and paste any files you want synced into that specific cloud locker within Folder Lock. These files will automatically be encrypted by Folder Lock and then securely copied to your chosen cloud service. They will then appear on all your other devices where you've installed the Folder Lock app and logged in with the same account.Even files you put in folders like Photos, Videos, Documents, Audios, or Miscellaneous within your mobile locker (using the Folder Lock mobile app) will sync automatically, keeping everything consistent.
By following these easy steps, you can set up Folder Lock to seamlessly sync your important, encrypted files across all your devices. Enjoy the incredible convenience of having your secure data always updated and available, giving you complete peace of mind no matter which device you're using.
