Hidden Folder is a fairly interesting piece of software that allows you to keep your files and folders safe by providing you with one of the most straightforward ways of encrypting and decrypting them.
Not your average app for file locking
At first, this may very well seem like your typical file locker/file encryption application. Truth be told, it's not all that different from apps such as those, as it also allows you to encrypt and decrypt folders with the help of a secure key.Simply click the "Lock File" button from the app's compact main window, select the file or the archive, and that's about it. You are prompted by an even smaller window that displays the locking key which can be later used to decrypt the file in question, by all accounts - a pretty straightforward process.
Decrypt files by simply connecting a flash drive to one of your computer USB ports
At this point, you can notice that the locking key can be instantly copied to your computer's clipboard or your can back it up to a drive of your choosing. This small detail is enough to differentiate Hidden Folder from most other apps of this sort.Basically, you can backup your locking key to any USB drive and use it to decrypt your files later on by simply connecting it to one of your computer's USB ports. Please note that you might be required to run the application with full administrator rights for this function to work.

All things considered, Hidden Folder is without a doubt a very interesting application. Sure, it's not exactly the most confidence-inspiring file locker (mainly since it does not offer multiple encryption algorithms to choose from), but the provided convenience is sure to make it quite appealing for most day-to-day users out there.Besides, let's be honest, decrypting files by simply connecting a flash drive to your computer's USB ports is surely up there in the top of the list with the coolest computer-related things.
