We were founded in 2005 in a tiny apartment in Bucharest, Romania as DeskOver.

Fittingly, it was a customer who, in 2012, first saw the immense possibilities for us in the fledgling RPA market. Our desktop automation product launched in 2013. In 2015, we introduced our enterprise platform along with our new name.

Today, UiPath is the fastest-growing enterprise software company in history with scores of offices, thousands of employees, partnerships with the world’s best consulting and BPO firms, a 500,000-strong developer community, and 5MM+ robots at work in over 5,000 global enterprises.

Our mission is to deliver the leading Robotic Process Automation platform to our clients for an automation first mindset.

We build software robots that automate repetitive processes. Our software robots take on the tedious, mind-numbing work and free people to do the more stimulating, creative work worth doing.

But no matter how much we’ve grown, one thing hasn’t changed. We’re still building a company we love to work for

LockFolder&nbsp;allows us to lock a folder access until we decide that it is safe to unlock it.UnLockFolder&nbsp;allows us to unlock a folder that was previously locked.This action can be useful in order to protect main data during the processing of the copy files! Note: the default UiPath Studio activity for "Delete file" is able to perform the deletion of a file from inside the locked folder as long as you provide the full path and the correct name of the file.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The activity allows you to lock and unlock a certain folder

Could you please add an option to provide password also in future version and it will be more secure.

Just curious to know whether it also uses any encryption technique while locking the folder?

Can we access the data from the folder after locked?

i.e, the only bot should access the data. Not any other user.

 - Really useful activity! Especially if you are an overly cautious person :)


Useful component. It provides more security to our folders.
