• Works great! By far the best encryption app I have foun

  sven.jansenApril 14, 2017

  Pros

  It's really, really easy to use this app to password protect folders. You just right click on the folder you want to protect, and choose a password. I have protected lots of folders, and it's working great. I like that there are password reminders, so I don't need to be paranoid about forgetting my password!

  Cons

  The software only works from Windows 7, so if you have an old XP computer, you can't use it.

  Summary

  I have tried a lot of encryption apps, but this one is by far the best. I really like that all folders stay in place and I can use my folders the same way I always do - only that I now need to enter a password to open them.

• Troublesome, beware!

  magooshenicJanuary 12, 2017

  Pros

  This is a welcome feature and convenient for protecting folders from unwanted intrusions.

  Cons

  1. All files took longer to open. System resources diminished. Everything, including internet access impacted. After uninstalling system resources resumed to normal speed. 2. Lose customized main folder icon (not sub-folders). I sent email inquiry to Safeplicity about this but never got a response. They are either understaffed or ignore 30-day trial prospective clients.

  Summary

  I wasn't sure if there was something wrong with my 6 mth old Dell XPS15 due to its sluggish response. So, I unistalled to see if it was this program impacting the speed; it was. I was very disappointed because the concept and ease of use was long desired. Now, let me tell you why you should beware. They don't tell you if you uninstall their program that any folders you protected will be deleted as well. If I had not had backup, I would have been devastated. Obviously, you are protecting important files which is why you downloaded it, right? If you plan to uninstall, make sure you unprotect those folders; otherwise, they will be drag down to oblivion by association, If it didn't tax system resources, I would use this program. Protection at the expense of speed is a big issue. If they could resolve consuming system resources, I would reinstall program.

• One of the best security products I've ever seen

  Johnny BoltonOctober 19, 2016

  Pros

  It's amazingly easy and convenient. It's so convenient that I password-protected, literally, a half of my files and hid the most confidential ones. I especially love their password reminder, because I use tons of different passwords for my stuff. But, of course, I don't enable the password reminder for my most sensitive stuff. My Mom often borrows my laptop and this app is so easy that even she learned how to keep her files password protected from me and, oh my gosh, seems to hide some of her files from me! It's OK, Mom. I'm fine with your secrets being encrypted from me :)

  Cons

  This software works only on Windows. Adding a version for Mac would be great.

  Summary

  Both my Mom and I love Safeplicity and highly recommend trying it.
