Password Protect Your Files with iBoysoft File Protector

One of the features of the NTFS file system in Windows 10 is the ability to limit access to files for certain users or user groups. But the way these permissions are setup using the File Explorer interface, through PowerShell or through command line interface is very tiresome and complicated. A much better approach is to just use a third party software like iBoysoft File Protector. It allows users to password protect any of the files or folders and limit the access of various programs to those files.

The user interface of iBoysoft File Protector offers two options – protect files and protect folders. Through these options you can choose a file or folder for protection as well as what kind of permissions are to be given (such a read, write, or deleting files). You can also add some programs that should have full access to these files.
