Buy the IObit Protected Folder licence from Mr Key Shop: the digital safe for Windows that protects your files with passwords, hiding, and read/write access restrictions.

Buy the IObit Protected Folder licence: comprehensive protection for files and folders across three distinct levels

Purchasing the licence for IObit Protected Folder means equipping your Windows PC with a data protection system that goes far beyond the operating system’s native features. Windows does not offer native tools to hide folders from other users, block read access or prevent accidental modifications and deletions: IObit Protected Folder fills this gap with a drag-and-drop interface that allows you to protect any file or folder in seconds. The result is a digital safe accessible only via a password set by the user, invisible to anyone else using the same PC.

The Pro version removes all operational limitations and guarantees protection without adverts, unlimited operations and priority access to support. The software operates on three independently selectable levels of protection: complete concealment from view in File Explorer, blocking of read access, opening, copying and execution of contents, and write protection that makes files immutable and undeletable even in the event of a ransomware or malware attack. This combination of levels makes IObit Protected Folder effective not only against unauthorised human access, but also against automated threats that attempt to encrypt or delete the user’s data.

On first launch, set the master password: use a strong one and keep it in a safe place; it cannot be recovered if lost

What is IObit Protected Folder?
IObit Protected Folder is a file and folder protection software for Windows that works like a digital safe. It allows you to hide content from view in File Explorer, block all read access, and prevent modifications or deletions through write protection. Access is always secured by a master password. The Pro version removes the operational limits of the free version and provides unlimited protection with priority support.
What is the difference between IObit Protected Folder and the free version?

Features	Free Version	Pro Version
File and folder hiding	Yes (limited)	Unlimited
Read access blocking	Yes (limited)	Unlimited
Write protection	Yes (limited)	Unlimited
Ad screen	Present	Absent
Priority support	No	Yes
Future updates included	No	Yes

When NOT to choose IObit Protected Folder?
IObit Protected Folder protects files and folders on the local PC via password and hiding, but it does not encrypt data in the cryptographic sense: protected files remain on disk in their original format. If you need strong encryption for data to be transferred on removable devices or shared over a network, consider dedicated encryption solutions. For protection on a PC shared by multiple users with separate accounts, Protected Folder is the ideal solution.
Are protected files safe from ransomware?
Yes. The write protection feature prevents any process, including ransomware, from modifying, encrypting, or deleting files stored in the safe. It is an additional layer of defense that operates independently of any antivirus installed on the system.
What happens if I forget the master password?
The master password is unrecoverable: IObit has no bypass procedures to ensure maximum security. It is essential to keep it in a safe place when setting it up.
