What is a .FILEBOLT file?

A .FILEBOLT file is a type of file that has been made secure using a program called Filebolt. This program is designed to keep files safe on your device, like your computer or phone. When a file is turned into a .FILEBOLT file, it means that it has been locked using a special method called Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). This is a very strong way to keep files safe so that only people who are supposed to see them can open them.

The kinds of files that might be locked using Filebolt could be anything important or private. For example, it could be a .XLSX file, which is often used for spreadsheets with important information like budgets or schedules. It could also be a .JPG file, which is a common type of picture file. If someone has a photo they don't want others to see without permission, they might lock it using Filebolt.

To open a file that has been locked with Filebolt (.FILEBOLT file), you need to use the Filebolt application. However, it's important to note that the original Filebolt program by Envault has been discontinued, which means it's no longer being updated or officially supported. Despite this, if you already have the Filebolt app on your device, you can still use it to open .FILEBOLT files. To do this, you would either drag the locked file into the program or use the program's option to "Open bolted file..." This lets you access the contents of the file, but only if you know the password that was set when the file was originally locked.

.FILEBOLT files are useful not just for keeping files safe on your own device. They can also be sent to other people. If you share a .FILEBOLT file with someone else, they can open it using Filebolt as well, but only if you give them the password. This makes it a secure way to share sensitive information, ensuring that only the intended recipient can access the contents of the file.
