SafeHouse Explorer uses passwords and advanced encryption to completely hide and defend your sensitive files, including photos, videos, spreadsheets, databases and just about any other kind of file that you might have. SafeHouse Explorer can protect files residing on any drive, including memory sticks, external USB drives, network servers and CD/DVDs.
SafeHouse keeps your confidential files in large protected container files which can range in size from a few megabytes to hundreds of gigabytes. In a way, they're sort of like folders. These containers are called volumes.

Your files are completely invisible until you enter your password. After you enter your secret password, you access your files using SafeHouse Explorer's familiar drag-and-drop Explorer-like interface. Once you move your files into one of these containers, they're instantly under the full protection of SafeHouse. SafeHouse only guards files which are contained in these encrypted volumes. |
The number of files which can fit in a SafeHouse volume depends upon the size you choose when they're first created. You can create an unlimited number of volumes on any number of disk drives or memory sticks. The maximum size is 2,000 Gigabytes (2TB).

Here's a few things you should know about SafeHouse volumes: |
Volumes are standard Windows files. You can view, move or delete them in Explorer just as you would with any other files.
The file extension for SafeHouse volumes is .SDSK. You can easily identify them by their distinctive red folder icon (shown above).
The maximum size for a volume is 2,000 Gigabytes (2TB).
You can create as many volumes as you wish.
Volumes can be located on internal and external hard drives, USB drives, memory sticks, CDs, DVDs and network servers.
Every volume has a password which can be changed at any time.
Volumes can be securely backed up to other drives or DVDs.
When your files are saved inside a volume, they are protected by your password and super-strong encryption.
When you move a file out of a volume, it is no longer protected by SafeHouse Explorer.
Using SafeHouse Explorer couldn't be easier. It works just like Windows Explorer - just drag and drop.
The steps below demonstrate everything you need to know.
Click the New Volume button to create new SafeHouse private storage volumes. You'll be prompted for their size, location and password.
Volumes are empty when first created. The next step shows how to open them up and add your files.
Click the Open Volume button to open your volumes and gain access to your protected files. You'll be prompted for the volume file to open - just look for the bright red folder icons.
SafeHouse Explorer will ask you to enter your secret password before showing your files. You can change your password at any time.
SafeHouse Explorer uses a familiar drag-and-drop interface.
Files dragged onto the surface from Windows Explorer are protected. Files dragged off back to Explorer are not protected.
Keep in mind that when you copy files into SafeHouse Explorer, the original remains in place until you remove it. We recommend using our Secure Delete feature which is designed to remove all traces of unwanted files.
When you're done working with your files, click the Close Volume button to lock them back up. Closed volumes are safe and secure.
