Use File Locking for School

File locking has a critical use case at school. Whether you're a student in 10th grade or a university graduate, you need a way to add more security to your files.

When you turn it in, your professor or teacher can verify that no one else had access, if you have a password set.

But at school, it comes a time during every project to unlock. You need to open your documents when you want to collaborate with others. It's a vital process in any group project to share quickly with a team and contribute to the work.
