FileLock is a handy Mac application that provides you with a very simple way to lock any files that you store on your computer.
In order to start locking your files with the help of FileLock, all you have to do is to simply drag-and-drop the desired files to the simple and intuitive interface. Once you have finished adding the files you want to lock, you can provide the desired password (or use the built-in password generator for a highly secured pass key) and wait for the process to finish.
FileLock will automatically create a locked file (using 448-bit Blowfish encryption) on the specified location that will contain the files you have previously added. You can even set this application to delete the original locked files by accessing the "Preferences" menu. In addition to this, if the password you have provided is not secure, FileLock will notify you so that you can perform the necessary modifications.
Shortly, if you want an easy-to-use application that can help you lock any files that you might have on your Mac, then you should definitely give FileLock a try.
