SECUDRIVE Encryption Free

SECUDRIVE Encryption Free is a utility that creates and mounts a 1GB virtual drive, called a secure zone, which you can fill with any personal files and folders you wish to protect from other users with access to your computer.

It supports password protection and automatically locks itself if the PC remains idle for a longer period of time. The program includes powerful and intuitive options that can be configured even by less experienced PC users.

Once installed, the tool offers to auto-create and mount the 1GB virtual drive, and this size cannot be adjusted. You are asked to enter a password with at least 6 alphanumeric characters, which will be required every time you want to run SECUDRIVE Encryption Free, as well as remove it from the workstation.

This virtual drive acts like any other local partition, so you can add the files, folders or programs to protect, as well as exit the application when you're done, in order to make the drive invisible. From this point on, it becomes accessible only when launching this tool.

It's possible to make the drive read-only when mounting it, in order to prevent users from making any modifications, quickly access the secure zone from the systray, as well as ask the app to autorun at Windows startup and to auto-logout after a while (set the delay time in minutes).

The software program worked smoothly in our tests, without triggering the operating system to hang, crash or prompt error dialogs. It left a small footprint on system resources, running on low CPU and RAM. Unfortunately, it's not possible to adjust the virtual drive's size.

To sum it up, SECUDRIVE Encryption Free provides you with an approachable method for securing important items on your computer, by adding them to a password-protected virtual container.
