Encrypt Files with AES-256
Use strong AES-256 encryption to protect sensitive files inside virtual lockers, making data unreadable without the correct password.
GiliSoft Private Disk creates a separate encrypted virtual disk for confidential files, so sensitive documents, images, videos, contracts, records, and project materials do not have to stay in ordinary folders. Instead of locking many files one by one, you keep private content inside one dedicated encrypted storage space that opens like a normal drive only after it is mounted and unlocked.
Use it when private files should be separated from daily storage, hidden after work, and opened only with the right password. It fits personal privacy, shared-family computers, small offices, HR and finance documents, portable private-disk workflows, and any Windows workflow where confidential files should stay in a controlled encrypted container.
