At workplaces, staffs prone to share folders on LAN so as to share resources and materials easily with colleagues. Because not all users have right or full right to the shared folder, the shared folders need to be limited to some users on LAN.

There are many ways to protect shared folder on the LAN. The first solution is to create a hidden folder and tell selected people about it, but the disadvantage of this solution is apparently: when other users unhide the folders, the hidden folder will be accessed by anyone using this computer. The second solution is to assign a password to the "Guest" account. When other people try to access your computer, they'll be prompted to enter the password, this solution is used for locking the whole computer to other users, while it’s useless for shared folder protection. The third solution is creating a compressed folder and setting a password for it. Therefore, everyone who accesses the folder, from the local computer or from the network, must input correct password to access the files in the compressed folder. Of course, the files in the compressed folder will lose control after being decompressed. And it takes much time to compress and unzip the files when the files are large. The fourth solution may be most useful for sharing folder and protecting shared folder. Whether you are on a domain or not, you can limit access to other folders by choosing to share only with specific people, granting them sharing permissions. Permissions can be granted to an individual or to a group of users on the same network, allowing them to access your shared folders. You can also set the level of access, allowing people to just open shared files, or also to change, create, or delete them. This solution seems most effective and useful for shared folder protection, while the security of password protecting folder without software can never be compared with that of protection with software.

Although I’ve tried many products that can encrypt data on Windows OS, Kakasoft Shared Folder Protector offers a competitive enterprise solution to protect a variety of shared content on Microsoft Windows.

This program uses a 256-bit on-the-fly AES encryption and it is compatible with all variants of the Windows Operating System, including Windows 7, Windows 8, Vista, XP, Server 2003, 2000.

With it, all users on the LAN can view or modify the shared folders and files on the local machine; no one needs to install the software. This ensures that the files and folders are securely and conveniently shared with other users on the LAN. Users without the necessary authorization can’t even access the files.

I tested this program on three Windows OSes finding its installation was smooth and uneventful. The interface is user friendly and the multi-user permission is up to 15 kinds of permissions which satisfied the need of our company. Since this program is designed for enterprise use, the feature of visiting logs helps admin to check all visiting logs of shared folder on the LAN.

Before protecting folders, you’d better learn how-to about this program on their official websites, which guide you to select folders, set password and assign permissions to different user groups.

In short, this software is easy to use and it meets all my needs of shared folder protection. And I’m sure the advantages brought by it worth its price.
