Reviews for docLock 2017
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 folder in one of the subfolders.
Temp>
Temp>Test1
Temp>Test2
Temp>Test1>Test3
I placed text file in each of the folders and subfolders.
Dragged and dropped 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.

I think it actually worked but the program is so user un-friendly that it does not let you know where the locked files are located. I too did a test and thought the same as you, but I ended up locating one of the locked files. It is simply too much of a pain to lock and unlock files; it makes it worthless for daily use.
Data security and privacy is top concern for most computer users. This explains the rise in new encryption methods and file locking applications. It is good practice, which I observe, to always have your confidential and personal files encrypted or locked in one way or another. Based on the practice, I came across DockLock 2016 and decided to try it out. Here is my take after taking through the paces.
At a Glance
Downloading and installing DockLock 2016 is easy and takes less than five minutes. Two to three restarts will be enough to get the application fully running. If the interface is anything to go by, then DockLock 2016’s learning curve is pretty smooth regarding how to use it.
Pros
Extra Encryption Methods
Locking a file or folder is common. However, the various encryption methods that DockLock 2016 presents when locking a file is worth a notice. Although it is the more experienced file encryption users who will find the options helpful, I was delighted to alternate between Blowfish and 3DES encryptions to lock my files. The two settings were just my preference and the other settings, which include Cast-128, DES, Gost and Twofish, are also available for you to choose.
Save Passwords on Photos
Since I lock and encrypt many files, I do forget my passwords occasionally. Thanks to DockLock 2016 option to conceal away my strong passwords on photos, I now rest easy. I only needed to remember one photo to unlock my files. Further, I was able to save and conceal up to ten different passwords on one photo.
Create Locked Zipped Files
DockLock 2016 lets you lock files and produce two different formats. A portable locked file is executable and can be carried around in a USB stick. To send some of the locked files via e-mail, the zipped format was more friendly for that purpose.
Cons
Buggy Generate Strong Password Feature
It is necessary to use strong encryption passwords. Although DockLock 2016 has option that would have let me do that, it did not work. Selecting or deselecting the option was unresponsive. In turn, I had to type in my passwords. Notably, the software still has no algorithm in place to prevent weak passwords.
Creates Copies of Files
The application was effective in encrypting files less than 100 megabytes within a minutes. However, after completing the compression and encryption, I ended up with copies of the files; one encrypted and the original one. This meant I had to manually delete the unencrypted files.
Verdict
It will be worth trying DockLock 2016 if you are looking for an application to encrypt your files with multiple encryption options and methods. The applications easy and quick operations are also impressive. You would also want to be aware of the dysfunctional strong password generator option before installing.

My computer system has become corrupted and I have files locked with DocLock – can I reinstall the program on a new installation and thus be able to retrieve the files?
