Looking for a way to hide folders without encryption? Best Folder Encryptor’s “Disguise Folder” feature lets you conceal files by making folders appear as system tools (e.g., Control Panel). Here’s how to use it safely and effectively.
What is Folder Disguise?
Folder disguise is a visual protection method that replaces a folder’s contents with system interfaces. Unlike encryption, it doesn’t secure data with passwords—instead, it prevents unauthorized access by camouflaging the folder’s appearance.
