Lacks basic functionality

Doesn't have folder sync on PC. Default folder is in C drive and cannot be changed.

Update terrible

Due to a new update you can no longer download items to your photo app. Why take out that functionality?

Weder auf Mac noch iOS nutzbar

Passwort lässt sich trotz Eingabe des 25-stelligen Codes nicht ändern. Zugriff auf die Daten nicht möglich. Trotz Meldung dass Änderung erfolgreich war. Hier muss Nord fixen. Deswegen nur 1 Stern.

Hallo! Es tut uns leid, dass Sie keinen Zugriff auf Ihre Daten haben. Bitte wenden Sie sich an unser Support-Team unter https://support.nordlocker.com/hc/en-us und teilen Sie die Details mit. Wenn Sie bereits ein Ticket haben, aktualisieren Sie bitte Ihre Bewertung mit der Ticket-ID. -L.L.

Useless

I downloaded this thinking I could use it to transfer files from my mac to my phone and vice versa. Turns out, there’s a “Cloud Password” that no matter how many times I reset it it would return a “something went wrong. Try again later”. Oh yeah, something went wrong? That’s all the info you can give? It’s beyond frustrating. I’m a new subscriber too and was excited to use Nord’s extra “features”, which they sold as part of the complete package. Turns out it’s just to fool people to opt for the higher tier. HOW THE HELL DO YOU EVEN USE THIS?!

If the error continues, could you message our support team at https://support.nordlocker.com/hc/en-us? They’d like to help you out. -D.S.

Disappointed

Hasn’t worked for weeks now, you open the app and it immediately closes. NL I won’t be renewing any subscription.

FAQ

What does NordLocker do?

NordLocker provides encrypted cloud storage and local encryption for your files, including photos and videos. It uses end-to-end encryption and a zero-knowledge architecture to ensure that only you can access your data, protecting it from data leakage and unauthorized access.

How does NordLocker ensure file security?

The app utilizes an end-to-end encryption algorithm, meaning your data is encrypted before it leaves your device and can only be decrypted by you. Its zero-knowledge architecture means the company itself cannot access your encryption keys or the content of your stored files, giving you complete control.

Can I share files securely with NordLocker?

Yes, you can securely share files or folders with others in just two steps. You can share via a securely generated link that encrypts the file in transit, or share lockers directly within the app. You always remain the owner and can stop sharing at any time.

Is NordLocker free to use?

The application is free to download and use, offering secure cloud storage and local encryption. However, based on the provided data, it also includes in-app purchases, suggesting that advanced features or increased storage may require payment.

What kind of files can I store with NordLocker?

You can store a wide variety of files, including photos, videos, and any other sensitive data. The app is designed to be a versatile secure file storage solution, allowing you to drag and drop files for instant encryption.
