Customers Feedback
I really think you are onto something highly unique with this plugin.
For a few years now, I?ve been wishing someone could develop something that can help protect files, folder names, etc and you have clearly worked very hard to do just that.
Keep up the great work! I look forward to seeing what else you come up with!
* 5 Stars! *
As a veteran of a thousand psychic wars? this is fabulous and is most useful! Good on Ya! for making this one! I wish you many sales as they are well deserved. For privacy? what man can pay a price as that? Privacy is key
