Let's suppose that your computer is shared with other people and you have a lot of important files and folders stored on it. Or your USB memory stick gets lost or stolen and you have important information on it. In this cases, your private data could get on the wrong hands and may put your bank accounts, passwords and even your life in danger. That's why it's a good idea to protect all these files and folders with a password, so nobody except you can have access to them. You cannot do that using Windows alone, but installing Secure My Files will allow you to perform these operations.

Reading the program's name can help you figure out what it is about. It's a Windows app that can encrypt any file or folder with a password, making it impossible to decrypt without entering the correct password. But that's not all that Secure My Files can do, as it can also create a secure area on the computer, for storing documents and can even lock USB sticks, making them inaccessible without a password.

All the program's operations can be easily accessed using its graphical and intuitive interface. One can simply drag and drop files and folders over the interface or he can use the file open menu for adding files and folders to it. After this, one just needs to type the password for locking the imported files and folders. The strength of the password will be analyzed and displayed in real time, allowing the user to know how secure his password is. A less secure password can be guessed by hackers.

After setting the password and clicking on the encryption button, all the imported files and folders will be quickly encrypted and stored as a single file. Decrypting can be done in the same way, by opening the encrypted file instead of the normal files and folders.

Besides encrypting data, Secure My Files can also create a secure area on the computer, for storing documents and can even lock USB memory sticks, for protecting the data stored on them in case they get stolen or lost.

Pros

It allows encrypting any file and folder, all at once, using simple drag and drop operations. Besides that, the program can create a secure document storage area on the hard disk and can also lock USB memory sticks, for protecting the data stored on them.

Cons

The trial version is a bit limited. Secure My Files is a useful tool for encrypting all your files and folders with a password, thus keeping your data safe.
