ZipLock
20210328GA lightweight application for compressing files and folders in an instant, and protect them behind 128-bit or 256-bit AES passwords
When it comes to archiving files and folders, everybody knows what the most popular apps for that types of tasks are. However, for those curious to try out other iterations, there's plenty of fish in the sea. ZipLock is a lightweight utility able to archive and protect your data using the AES 128 and 256-bit keys.
ZipLock was designed to be a portable application, so you can carry it around and compress any file on the spot. Besides lacking an installation process, all output results will be created within the same folder as the app, further proving its ease of use.
Those who prefer flashy and colorful UIs are going to be a bit disappointed. ZipLock focuses more on functionality than looks, and that can be seen after running the executable.
On the other hand, individuals who don't really care about aesthetics, but simplicity will love the tool. The mainframe consists of a large informative panel that lists all operations, and a short toolbar that lets you choose what items to compress, two listing features for finished tasks, an unzip feature, and a secure delete function.
The secure delete function would help one erase unwanted files without leaving any traces, no matter the machine used in the process.
Archiving files or folders is very intuitive. Select the time you need to compress and wait for the password windows to pop up. Jot down a combination and click OK to wrap the process up. Unzipping archives can be done with any similar tool, as long as the correct password is provided.
To sum things up, ZipLock is a portable tool for compressing and protecting data. The app can be successfully used by any individual, as it doesn't require too much effort and knowledge to be operated. Also, having this app in your pockets for any occasion is a feature that not many popular zipping alternatives have.
