Disable file transfer from external storage

Lock individual files and folders

Best Disk Lock also enables you to secure files and folders without locking an entire drive on your computer. To do so, all you need is to choose the source and click one button. You do however have to be careful with one particular option which allows you to hide the folder or file upon lock.
