## Description

**File Locker** offers a simple and effective way to keep your private and important files secure on your Android device. It encrypts and stores files in a secret location accessible only by you. This extension supports locking photos, videos, documents, and audio files with password protection via PIN, pattern, or fingerprint.

Key features include break-in alerts that capture snooper photos, slideshow viewing of locked photos, customizable themes, support for unlimited files, and a fast multi-select import process. Password recovery is available through your registered email, ensuring you never lose access. File Locker also does not appear in recent apps and automatically quits when the device enters sleep mode, adding extra layers of privacy and security.

## Review summary

Users praise the app for being simple, fast, and free, and for the SD-card locking feature that avoids using extra device storage. However, reliability concerns are frequent: data loss and file corruption, broken password/PIN recovery, and stability issues over time. The free version includes ads and there are small feature limitations (like folder naming). Overall, the app offers solid basic functionality but has notable stability and recovery risks affecting long‑term trust.

### Pros

- Simple, easy to use, fast and free.
- Locks files on SD card and does not use extra phone storage; files are visible only when the SD card is inserted.
- User-friendly and easy to learn with minimal setup.
- Often viewed positively as a capable or the best file locker by users.
- General positive reception from students and casual users who need basic locking functionality.

### Cons

- Data loss and file corruption: locked files can disappear or become unreadable.
- Password/PIN recovery and reset often fails or is unavailable (cannot restore password, reset links fail).
- Stability issues over time: app can stop working after months and become unusable.
- Free version relies on ads, which can be intrusive for some users.
- Folder naming limitations (e.g., cannot create folders with a comma) and other feature gaps.
