Safahouse does offer to format your container in FAT32 or NTFS format. Unfortunately, Safehouse has some disadvantages too (in case you were thinking I am a safehouse payed employee: You're wrong again! So, you will have access to all your files, though you lose some transparency there. In mode c) due to the performance enhancements not being isntalled, the opened containers cannot be presented as an extra, virtual drive, thus the content of your containers will only be accessible through the (portable) safehouse browser. Once a container is opened, it will be presented as an extra harddrive, making its working completely transparent both to the user and the system it's running on. ![]() In mode b), you will have only the most basic administrative functionality, but enough for standard use: create, open, use containers, and assign or change passwords. Obviously, in mode a) the most administrative power is offered. The difference between the three modes you can use the application: Once you open the Safehouse password protected container, you can access all your files without the need to unpack or extract any of the files first. Once you close the Safehouse container, all your files stored in it, are encrypted. Furthermore, it works similar to TrueCrypt, or nowerdays: VeraCrypt, as it creates a container in which you can store all the files you want to have encrypted, rather than compress and pack your files in an archive which needs to be unpacked before you can access your files, or encrypting every file one by one, Safehouse has some advantages over several other encryption softwares: The portable version is a single file application, so there's only one file to copy or transport, which incorporates it's complete functionality. You can use SafeHouse explorer in three different modes:Ī) Installed (and integrated) version, which indeed requires a payed license, for either a 'PRO' or an 'Enterprise' release.ī) Portable and free version (which will NOT expire), with performance enhancements installed (You will not need admin rights, but you will need authorization to apply changes to the registry, in order to be able to install the performance enhancements provided by the portable app).Ĭ) Portable and free version (which will NOT expire), without performance enhancements installed (You will not need admin rights, nor authorization to apply changes to the registry). I am using Safe House for several years now, both in a payed version and, when I am working in a different environment, a portable, free version. I'm planning on building this into the PA.c Platform at some point as a poor man's password protection.Īgain, it is technically IMPOSSIBLE on Windows to have an encrypted set of files that you can access directly and run portably without either having admin rights (with TrueCrypt, FreeOTFE, etc) or using a hardware encrypted drive ( Carbide as shown in the site header). Many of these products also do something they call 'locking' which is basically just hiding a folder and using some Windows tricks to prevent it from being opened/visible in Windows Explorer. Same as with using FreeOTFE with the FreeOTFE Explorer bit. And you have to copy any apps you want to run out of it. You have to move any files you want to use out of it to open them in any app. You can move files in and out of it via the interface. ![]() These types of solutions are basically the same as having an encrypted, password-protected 7z file on your stick and being able to open it with 7-Zip Portable. ![]()
