NordLocker, is a ​​premium file encryption tool​​ developed by the creators of NorrdVPN, specializing in ​​end-to-end encrypted cloud storage and local file protection​​. Unlike traditional file encryption software that focuses only on disk or file-level security, NordLocker combines ​​military-grade encryption​​ with seamless cloud integration, making it ideal for users who want both ​​privacy and accessibility​​.

How It Works​​ for File Encryption

1. ​​Install NordLocker​​ on your device (Windows/macOS).

2. Create a Secure Vault​​ – Files stored here are automatically encrypted.

3. Drag & Drop Files​​ into the vault (or set auto-protection for folders)

4. Access Anywhere​​ – Files sync securely across devices via NordLocker Cloud (or your own cloud).

5. Share Securely​​ – Generate encrypted links with password protection & expiry dates.

✔ Pros:​​

​​Military-grade encryption​​ (AES-256 + E2EE).
​​Zero-knowledge policy​​ (no backdoors, no data leaks).
​​Seamless cloud sync​​ (unlike BitLocker).
​​Cross-platform​​ (Windows, macOS, mobile).

​​✖ Cons:​​

​​Not free for full features.
​​No Linux support​​.
​​Requires internet for cloud features​​ (local-only mode is possible but lacks sync).
