Wise Folder Hider is a free tool that you can download from this link. Once you have downloaded and installed the app, the first step is to create a password for the app. This means if anyone wants to open the app, they will have to enter the password for the app.
Once you have created the app password, you can start hiding or encrypting folders. You need to create a file to store encrypted files and you can set the size of the file based on the amount of storage you need for the files. Once this is created, you can add files and folders to the app.
You can either hide the files or encrypt them with a password. With Wise Folder Hider you can easily hide your files and folders so they disappear from Windows File Explorer.

Wise Folder Hider is one of the best free options to password-protect your files and folders.
