So you have a USB stick and you want to make sure that no one but yourself can access the files that are stored on it. Thanks to Lock USB, you can lock and password protect the USB stick (or any other external drive) and thus ensure that you and you alone have access to its contents.

Lock USB provides support for Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8 or 8.1, and Windows 10. Please note that you won’t install Lock USB on your PC, but on the USB drive you want to protect. As you can see from the Quick Look video that accompanies this article, installing Lock USB is an effortless task that will take very little of your time.

Four main buttons are displayed in Lock USB’s interface:
Option – change the current password, enable Master Key, enable Hack Attempt Security.
Register – register your copy.
Lock/Unlock – locks or unlocks the USB drive.
Exit – closes the application.

When the USB drive is unlocked, you can access it just like usual and you can open any file that’s stored on said drive. When the USB drive is locked, you won’t get to see what files are stored on the drive and you won’t be able to access it. The only way to access it is by launching Lock USB and entering the password to unlock the drive.

Lock USB isn’t free, it is only free to try. The trial version is limited to 5 uses, meaning you’ll get to lock/unlock the USB drive 5 times. Furthermore, the trial version is free to use for a period of 5 days.

Get Lock USB and make sure that you alone have access to your portable USB drive and the files that are stored on it. Lock USB locks and password protects all your USB and external drives.

Pros

Installing Lock USB on an external or USB drive is an effortless task. Locking and unlocking USB devices is an effortless task as well. And so is navigating Lock USB’s interface.

Cons

Trial limitations: 5-day trial, 5 uses limitation.
