NordLocker is an encrypted cloud storage app that puts privacy first. Store your files in a securely encrypted cloud that provides maximum protection from data leakage. Why NordLocker? NordLocker was built by the team behind NordVPN, the world’s most popular VPN. As a company, we strive to build the best cybersecurity tools anyone could use. That’s why NordLocker has been recognized by the Cyber Security Awards as the Cloud-Based Product of the Year. Our secure storage uses an end-to-end encryption algorithm to secure your files in the cloud. All data is encrypted with a unique key that gives you complete access control. Encrypted at all times Protect your precious files, upload them to the cloud storage, or sync them across your devices for easy access. And even when files are synced to a shared device, your data stays private. Because no one can see or access your data without your permission. When it comes to sharing files, you can securely share any file or folder via NordLocker in just two steps. Share your files with however many people you like, and wait until they accept your invitation. NordLocker offers an option to share your files via a securely generated link that encrypts the file in transit. You always remain the owner of your files and can stop sharing it whenever you want. Hassle-free security Upload your files into NordLocker, and they’re encrypted instantly. Make NordLocker what you want it to be — media or other files storage for sensitive data. Your data is yours only What's yours is yours. That's why we believe using a cloud app should never be based on trust. Unlike mainstream cloud providers, we can never see your encryption keys or know what you store in your cloud. NordLocker is built on zero-knowledge architecture, meaning we know nothing about what you store in your cloud. Not only is this more secure, but it also gives you complete access control.
