Reviews for Wise Folder Hider Pro
This seems to work perfectly for me, not sure why it’s getting so many frowns. I think it’s a great offer!
When sharing a PC with other users, we are always concerned about other users getting access to our personal and important files, modifying them, and they could even delete them. You can hide your files and folders in Windows, but what’s the point of doing that, if they are still accessible and anyone using your PC can easily access them. This is why third party file/folder locker came into existence. These applications are specialized for file/folder protection, and making it inaccessible to other users.
Wise Folder Hider Pro is a small software application that provides solution for this big problem. It can protect your folders, hide your sensitive data and even make it portable. It not only hides your important data, but also makes it accessible by only the user that knows the password.
Installation & Set-up

User Interface
The UI of the application is clean, visually appealing, and has modern design where all the buttons are well organized. There are two sections of the UI, accessible by buttons on the top right, one is for hiding files and the other one is for encrypting files. The area in the middle is where you can see all the files/folders you have added to this application. Three buttons at the bottom in the Hide Files section, are Hide File, Hide Folder, and Hide USB Drive. In the Encrypt File section, these are replaced by two buttons, one two add new files and one two open encrypted files. Setting can be accessed from the button on the top right, and it let’s you change your password and tweak a few other options.

No thanks. I used this program for 6 months in 2015. All went well until the password quit working. I managed to recover only half the files. Paid for and use USB secure now.

How does a password quit working?
Are you saying your known good password expired or was compromised, then you can’t get at your stuff?
Or, that you forgot the password.
Regardless of the situation, you would not want unauthorized access to your personal files and folders. Many people do find themselves in such situations where other users have access to their computers. Apart from the unauthorized access, other users might also delete your important files accidentally. What is the way forward? Well, there is Wise Folder Hider Pro that can help you achieve a decent level of privacy for your documents and help you prevent the highlighted scenarios. Here is my take on this privacy tool.
At a Glance
Wise Folder Hider Pro clearly borrows from the native feature of Windows that you can use to hide folders and files. However, its intuitive UI and the option to add passwords to your documents are the interesting features that make it better. You will be through with the installation process in no time before you get to the tool’s simple interface.
Pros
Small Learning Curve
There is absolutely nothing challenging about using Wise Folder Hider Pro. The main window has its option clearly spread out. You can opt to drag and drop your folders or files on the white space or add them using the Hide File or Hide Folder options. At the same time, you can easily take advantage of the Hide USB Drive option to secure your documents on the device as well.
Two Level Password Protection
As already noted above, Wise Folder Hider Pro gives you the option to enter a password to protect your folders. The first level of password is on the program itself. On running the tool, it will prompt you to specify a password that you will using to log in. Additionally, after adding a folder or file, you can opt to lock it by assigning it a password as well.
Snappy Operations
Hiding and unhiding your documents takes place in seconds. Such snappy operations will save you from the dreadful experience of having to wait for several hours when you are hiding large files.
Cons
No Password Recovery
Windows has the native option for hiding folders and files. However, Wise Folder Hider Pro’s approach in availing an option to add a password for hiding and showing files presents more security. Despite that helpful feature, you will not be able to recover or reset your password to your hidden folders in the case of losing it while using this version.
Allows Weak Passwords
This security tool gives users the responsibility of inputting strong passwords. In other words, it accepts single character passwords at both password levels. The program’s lack of way to check the password strength could tempt users to use weak passwords that are easy to crack hence nullifying the tool’s purpose.
Verdict
If you have ever or still using the Windows option to hide folders in your computer, then Wise Folder Hider Pro add the spicy aspect that you have been missing. It adds levels of security to further prevent unauthorized access. Its ease of use is another plus, but the downside is the lack of a password recovery option. It will be worth downloading it.
