I think the biggest drawback of this software is that once you password protect a folder you cannot copy it to another drive without decrypting it.

If you're password protecting a folder, obviously that means the folder contains important files. So, after password protecting a folder, it will remain only on my hard drive. What happens if my hard drive fails? I will lose this important data because I am unable to take a backup!

You may argue that I could decrypt the folder and then take a backup. But that would be a nuisance if the contents of the folder keep changing, because then I would need to periodically decrypt the folder to take a backup and then encrypt the folder again and also encrypt it on the backup disk too!

I like the idea of encrypting a folder, but I feel the program would be better if one could copy the encrypted folder to the backup drive or a cloud drive.

The biggest drawback is that it only helps against your mother.

It is so unsafe that "protection" can easily be removed with a single line (on the commandline).

My advise: Use for public data only!

Question for the developer: If I apply a strong password is this enough to protect from ransomware? Thanks.
