Encrypting files is a good idea if you don't want other users to access your private data. If you want to protect a large number of files, encrypting them one by one is not an effective solution. Instead of creating a password for each file, you could place them in one location and protect them with the same password. Dekart Private Disk can make this task very simple. It lets you create a virtual drive, where you can store your data and protect it with a strong encryption algorithm.

Installing Dekart Private Disk on your computer is not difficult. You can make the initial settings yourself, or opt for the recommended settings and start installing right away. The software is compatible with all Windows editions, from Win 95 to Win 7 and it works on both 32 and 64-bit versions. The application is portable as well. This means that you can also run it from a removable memory device.

Dekart Private Disk's functions are organized on separate tabs. You can find options for creating a virtual drive, baking up its data or password, adjusting the program's behavior and more. Virtual disks are created on a separate window and they are saved as files. Besides selecting a disk's destination folder, you can also set its size, select its drive letter, set it as removable or local and more. After clicking the Create button, you will have to type in a new password. Once created, the application will format and mount the new drive immediately.

When you mount a disk, additional options will be available, on separate tabs, for each disk. You can activate firewalls, for mounted disks and set up exceptions. It is also possible to set Dekart Private Disk to run third party applications when a disk is connected or disconnected.

You can use the mounted disks like any other partition or removable drive. Instead of encrypting files, one by one, you just need to move them to a virtual drive. Without the correct password, no one will be able to mount your virtual disks and see their contents. Disks are saved in the Dekart Private Disk's native format, so it is not possible to mount them with other applications.

Pros

You may create virtual partitions or removable drives and define their sizes, drive letters and more without any difficulties. The software uses the AES 256-bit encryption algorithm to protect your virtual drives. Dekart Private Disk lets you set up firewalls, for each disk. Moreover, it can run third party applications automatically, when you mount or dismount a drive.

Cons

There are no serious disadvantages to mention. Dekart Private Disk enables you to protect any amount of data fast and without too much effort.
