New generation NordLocker app with performance boost, improved security and sharing and dark mode 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. Download NordLocker and protect your digital assets now!

Just frustrating

I had initially signed up to take advantage of an offer that seemed like a good deal in terms of cost for a 2 TB plan. After a little while, I decided I should probably cancel. I reached out to the support team (the only way to cancel) and let them know I wasn’t happy with it. They then told me something to make me think of it more as a security service and not simply something like Dropbox/ Google drive, and I ended up not canceling. I then had no doubt that from a security standpoint, my data would be safe, now though I’m not so confident having used the software that it will really be reliable in the end. Now I’m trying to use the app by uploading a bunch of files since I have all that space to play with, but their software for doing this is very underdeveloped. Everything takes a long time to upload, organizing things (especially keeping track of what’s uploaded vs on your local disk) is not intuitive, on and on. While it’s too late for me to cancel, you can be sure that without a MAJOR overhaul of this app I will not be a returning subscriber at any price. Very disappointing.

I’m trying my best to like this app, after waiting so long for it to reappear in the App Store. My main problem is the consistent need to re-enter my master password after launching the app. My master password is quite complex, so I have to go to my password manager, copy it, then paste it into the app just to get going. After that, there is very little that I can do with the app other than viewing files, and to do this you have to do it one by one. For example, if you have a folder full of .pdf’s, you have to open and close to view each file. There’s no option to quickly swipe between files. There isn’t any thumbnail caching either, so if your files have generic names, you don’t know what you’re opening. For now, I’m sticking with Tresorit. I know things will get better as time goes on, but right now it’s not worth the hassle to use this app. With having to enter my master password every time, I’m better off using the website. It at least caches thumbnails and allows me to quickly swipe through files. It’s an OK start, but definitely could be 1000x better. I love Nord, and they do great work, but this app isn’t ready for prime time yet.

I forgive MOST of this app’s problems.

Most of this app’s problems are easily forgivable for reasons related to the fact that NordLocker takes security measures that others don’t, which slows it down relative to other cloud services. But one problem with this app that I can’t forgive is that you can’t yet upload or download an entire file folder on this mobile app. If you have a file folder that you want to upload, you have to create a folder in NordLocker with the same name and manually upload every, single, file. The time this takes is painfully tedious. Perhaps this is another security measure taken to prevent people with malicious intent to download too much personal information? But even then you should still be able to at least upload a file folder, and on the desktop app you can already upload and download whole folders, so I don't see why this is a problem and why its not a feature yet. Fingers crossed it will become a feature, if it does I can easily see myself changing from three to five stars.

They have recently decided to no longer support on device encryption and are forcing you to throw all of your files online when it’s a lot easier to hack into your account online than it is to physically access your computer before you can access those files which means you got a physically enter my home compared to anywhere online. I also received some phantom charges on my credit card and asked them why I was given another two years and they said that I did that but then there’s another charge and I have everything set up to not automatically renew. I’m going to have to call the credit card company tomorrow and tell them to restrict any more charges towards this company and I’m going to challenge the previous charges. I’m in through December 2028 now and I never signed on for more than one year. I feel like I’m being scammed. These people can’t be trusted. I’m done for life. Backstabbed and done 😤
