FAQ

The most common questions Australians ask about NordLocker

Most-searched questions, per Sistrix

What is NordLocker used for?

Keeping sensitive files in end-to-end encrypted ‘lockers’ — both on your device and synced to the cloud. It is encryption-first storage from Nord Security, closer to a digital safe than a Dropbox replacement: you drop your most private documents, photos or records into a locker and they stay encrypted before anything leaves your machine. Think secure vault rather than a full sharing-and-collaboration workspace.

How much does NordLocker cost?

The 2 TB Premium plan is US$14.99/mo, sitting above a 3 GB free tier for your most sensitive files. As across the Nord family, first-year promotional pricing renews higher, so budget for the standard rate rather than the introductory one when your term rolls over. It is priced as a dedicated encrypted vault rather than a bulk-storage bargain, so weigh it on security and the Nord ecosystem rather than on gigabytes per dollar alone.

Is NordLocker safe and secure?

Yes. NordLocker uses zero-knowledge, end-to-end encryption across all plans, and it is built by Nord Security — the audited company behind NordVPN and NordPass. Lockers encrypt your files on your device before anything is uploaded, so the provider cannot read them.

Is NordLocker owned by NordVPN?

They are siblings, not one owning the other. NordLocker, NordVPN and NordPass are all products of Nord Security, the Lithuanian-founded company — they share an account ecosystem, but none of them owns the others.

Is NordLocker free?

Yes — there is a free plan with 3 GB of encrypted cloud storage plus unlimited local-only lockers on your own device. That is enough for your most sensitive documents; larger backups or cloud-synced volume need one of the paid tiers.

What are the disadvantages of NordLocker?

It is a vault, not a full cloud suite. There is no sharing-links ecosystem, no document editing, only a small free tier and limited web access — and renewal pricing rises after the first year, as across the Nord range. Judge it as the encrypted safe it is meant to be: excellent for locking down sensitive files, but not a replacement for a collaborative, feature-rich drive like pCloud or Sync.com if that is what you actually need.
