Recommendations for encryption & locking software wanted
I currently us a program called Protect Folder by Everstrike Software. I'm fairly satisfied with the product, but I'm not sure the company is still a going concern. Also, the few times I've tried to get technical support I got no response. So I'm trying to find alternatives.
Features I find important:
- Folders are password protected. Until the password is entered the folder looks empty to File Explorer.
- Folders are encrypted. If the software is removed, everything in the folder (including contents of sub-directories) is unreadable.
- An unlocked file is locked when the user logs out of when the PC goes to sleep.
- A folder unlocked for one user of the PC is still locked for other users. (Actually, I'm not sure if that's true for Protect Folder, but it's important to me.)
Are there other programs around that provide these features? I'm willing to pay, but not too much. (I think Folder Protect cost around $35 per PC 4 or 5 years ago when I bought it.)
