How to Protect USB Drives, DVDs or Email Attachments?
Just as you keep files in your Locker, you can create a Portable Locker by going to Folder Lock’s main screen and clicking the Safeguard button and then choose ‘Portable Lockers’.
From here you can create Locker files containing your encrypted data and move these Lockers in USB drives or burn them to CDs/DVDs.
These portable locker files are complete file systems formatted in FAT32, so you can keep up to 2 TB data (this is pro version maximum) which you can use to move around in USB Drives. Portable Lockers can also be emailed as an attachment or simply shared on the cloud with others who know your Portable Locker’s password.
Since each portable locker has a different password, it is possible to create as many portable Lockers as you want, each with its unique password. It is however important to choose portable locker passwords different from your main Locker or Folder Lock’s account password, if you will share your portable lockers with others.
When creating a portable Locker make sure you set a strong password and do not forget to choose a maximum size you’ll be needing for your Locker in future. The Locker file created will take anywhere from 30 MB to 500 MB disk space on your hard drive based on what you choose as the maximum size of your Locker.
As you keep putting new files in the Locker, it will expand based on the size of new files on run-time rather than taking the whole hard drive space in advance. For example, if you have 500 GB files and you expect that in future this can go up to 1 TB, then you choose a maximum size of 1 TB for your Locker, but Folder Lock won’t take up 1 TB of your hard drive space in advance, but will only initial create a Locker of size as low as 200 to 300 MB and will increment as you add new files in it later.
