I wrote an evaluation, but I’m also writing here to share with others.
I’m very disappointed with DocLock. Installation and registration went fine, no issues.
For testing, I created a folder with 2 subfolders, and one more sub-subfolder in one of the subfolders, as follows:
On drave Z:\Storage\
Temp>
Temp>Test1
Temp>Test2
Temp>Test1>Test3
I placed a text file in each of the folders and subfolders.
Dragged and dropped the folder Temp onto the program.
Entered the password (I was UNPLEASANTLY surprised and perplexed at the 7-character PW limit).
Program confirmed that it locked the files or folders.
I ran File Explorer and was able to access all the files in the folders and subfolders, and open them as if no operation was done.
In other words, none was encrypted.
I restarted the program and tried again. Same result.
Bottom line: I cannot trust this program to encrypt my documents, and I also cannot trust a program that limits my password to 7 characters.
