Summary

Summary

The activity allows you to lock and unlock a certain folder.

Overview

Overview

LockFolder allows you to lock the access to a folder until decided that it is safe to unlock it. UnLockFolder allows you 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, as well as in other scenarios, like:

  • Protecting sensitive data: prevent unauthorized access to a folder containing sensitive data, such as financial records, personal information, confidential business documents etc.
  • Ensuring data integrity: prevent any accidental modifications or deletions of files in a folder during a critical process, such as a backup or system update. 
  • Collaborative work: prevent accidental changes to files in a shared folder while multiple people are working on them simultaneously. This can help prevent version conflicts and ensure that everyone is working with the most up-to-date files.
  • Preventing accidental deletion: the ability to delete files from a locked folder can be useful in preventing accidental deletion of important files. Users can still delete files if they have the correct path and filename, but LockFolder can provide an additional layer of protection.
  • Ensuring compliance:  ensure compliance with regulations that require certain files to be kept secure and only accessible by authorized personnel.

 

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.
