About NordLocker
NordLocker is the encrypted storage product from Nord Security, the company behind NordVPN and NordPass. It works as a set of encrypted lockers: drag files into a locker on your computer and they are encrypted locally, then optionally synced to NordLocker's cloud, so the service cannot see what you store. It suits people who want to protect a set of sensitive documents more than those looking to replace a full sync service, since collaboration, version history and sharing are limited compared with Dropbox or pCloud. There is a small free plan and paid plans with more cloud space, often discounted when bought alongside other Nord products. Desktop apps run on Windows and macOS, with iOS and Android apps and web access. There is no Linux client. Its main advantage is simplicity and a familiar brand for people already using NordVPN.
Best for: NordVPN users who want a simple encrypted vault for sensitive files.
