A Dr. File Finder Favorite -- SafeHouse Professional File Encryption
SafeHouse Professional File Encryption 3.00, by PC Dynamics, Inc.
is a cool tool that lets you protect your important data by using
high-level encryption. In using the program I was impressed with how
fast it is. It creates an expandable area on your hard drive and
assigns it a driver letter. You can only access this drive using the
password you assigned. So, if you have documents, photos, music, or any
other data that you want to keep from prying eyes you can store it on
your SafeHouse volume. In addition you can create more than one
"drive." The program is easy-to-use making it perfect for users with all
levels of experience. While testing it out I made a couple of 5 gigabyte
"storage vaults" and moved files into them. When I closed the
vaults the drive letters disappeared, making those files and folder
completely hidden and encrypted. You can create storage vaults on any
hard drive, USB memory device, and even on CDs and DVD's. SafeHouse
Professional File Encryption also supports drag and drop so you can
easily move files into these secured areas. Another unique feature found
in the program is the ability to create a virtual smartcard.
Slick. The process is very simple and it works with your standard USB
drive. Once you've done it you can access any of your SafeHouse vaults
without having to enter the passwords just by having the drive plugged
in. The program is safe and secure and remarkably easy-to-use. I like it
so much that it's not only a Pick, but I'm also making it a Dr. File
Finder Favorite and in over 25 years of evaluating software there
haven't been very many of those. So, if you're looking for a slick way
to protect data, this may be the solution you need. Give it a
try, I recommend it.
