What is NordLocker
With the Full and Complete bundles, you will receive NordLocker, an easy-to-use file encryption tool that lets you store and share your data securely. Learn more about what NordLocker is.
A Locker is NordLockers' encrypted folder. It contains your files and configuration data. No one apart from you can access the files you put in a Locker unless you give other people access.
Learn how to grant other people access to your files on NordLocker.
Why encrypt files?
Your computer contains a lot of sensitive data like photos of passports and IDs, scanned copies of legal documents, medical and tax information, personal notes, pictures, videos, and more. All of this information could be accessed by hackers if unprotected under additional security layers.
In cases when these files need to be shared with trustworthy people, you can do that safely thanks to public-key cryptography.
How to get started with NordLocker
By purchasing a NordVPN bundle that already includes NordLocker, you will simply need to proceed with logging in to the Web app and creating a Cloud password specifically for NordLocker. Read NordLocker's article on how to get started.
