FileMax

FileMax is designed to protect your important and confidential files and folders, ensuring that your private data is secured at all times. It does so by assigning a password to each file it processes, changing its name and extension, so as to make it impossible to access by others.

Data theft and privacy protection are topics that came into sight in the last years, due to the continuously rising threats found on the Internet. Every user is concerned about safeguarding important documents, but fortunately, there are various applications out there dedicated to this purpose.

FileMax does not have the most impressive look, but all the options are within reach and the functions are clear and accessible. You start by browsing for the files or folders you want to protect and as you do so, all of them are displayed within the main window, in an organized table.

It does not matter what type of file you want to secure, FileMax can process any format, in batch mode. Thus, you can use it to secure important office documents, private images, songs or videos, archives, system and hidden files in a single operation.

FileMax enables you to assign a password to your files and allow additional protection by changing the file name and / or its extension (it can assign the file the SCRT extension, which is a proprietary FileMax secret file).

It can use different approaches to lockdown your files, but the 'Smart' option is recommended, since it tries to find a balance between speed and encryption strength. If you think that locking down your files is not enough, FileMax also enables you to wipe them off from your computer.

FileMax does its job as it should, creating protected copies of files that cannot be accessed by others without unlocking them first and providing the correct password. It can be used by anyone who wants to safeguard documents and folders, without requiring advanced experience.
