Product Description:

SafeFile is an easy-to-use program that allows you to create Safes using encryption for secure file, data and document storage.
SafeFile prevents any user who does not know the Safe's password from being able to access any file placed inside the Safe. Even administrators in a business environment will not be able to view any files you store in SafeFile.
If you work on a computer which is shared with other users, you can use SafeFile to store your files for total privacy.
SafeFile looks and acts like Mac OS Finder, allowing you to comfortably use an already familiar user-interface.
Simply drag and drop files into a Safe and the files will automatically be Encrypted. To retrieve any file, simply drag and drop the Encrypted file out of SafeFile and back onto your Desktop.

What's new in this version:

  • Corrects Safes which have been accidently locked and/or have had their permissions changes which prevents the proper use of the Safe.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.3
  • Mac OS X 10.2

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.2 or higher
  • If you currently have Safes created with any previous version of SafeFile (including any beta versions), you must remove the contents of those Safes before you install SafeFile 2.1. Safes created with previous versions of SafeFile are not compatible with SafeFile 2.1. Please follow the procedure below to preserve data from existing Safes:
    1. Launch your current version of SafeFile.
    2. Drag the files out of your Safes.
    3. Quit SafeFile.
    4. Install SafeFile 2.1.
    5. Launch SafeFile.
    6. Verify that you are running version 2.1 of SafeFile by checking the "About SafeFile" menu item
    7. Create new Safes.
    8. Drag your files into your new Safes.
    9. Place the old Safes in the trash.

SafeFile Reviewsimple to use and effective - Version: 2.1.2, 7/15/2006 09:40AM PST

TFS--2008
SafeFile is a very effefective tool for the storage of confidential information, which is frequently required. Since SafeFile stores all encryped files in one password protected window access to all confidential information is quick.

Once the preferences have been optimized, one double click on the database file in the SafeFile window decrypts it, places it on the desktop and opens it with its application.

Dragging the icon on the SafeFile window after usage encrypts it and shreds the decryped file.

It cannot be simpler, perfectly designed tool!

SafeFile CommentaryBetter to use a EDI... - Version: 2.1.1, 11/25/2003 03:22PM PST

KappaBear
I haven't installed nor used this program, as I agree with most everyone else here. One can VERY easily make an Encrypted Disk Image, using Apple's free software. Disk Utility comes with both Jaguar & Panther. FerelCat incorrectly mentions that the EDI is fixed size as specified by the user. You can point Disk Utility at a folder, and it will then encrypt that folder, and then compress it, so that it doesn't waste any valuable disc space. Moreover, if you're using Panther, you can then do a Secure empty trash to delete the file. The other nice thing about EDI is that you can share it with others, via FTP, email, etc. without them having to use any special software on their end. It is true that the password is added to the Keychain, but using Keychain Manager, one can delete that key, and then be prompted for a password with each decryption.
