Folder Lock, from Newsoftwares.net, provides a crucial "Portable Lockers" feature that allows you to secure your data for sharing or transport. This powerful tool creates a single, encrypted file (.flka) that acts as a secure, self-contained vault. It can be easily moved to USB drives, DVD or shared as an Email attachment. This ensures that your confidential data remains password-protected and secure, regardless of where it is stored or transferred, giving you peace of mind that your privacy is maintained even when your files are on the move.
