*NOTICE* If you owned the previous version, please read the following instructions to upgrade. The new software will not work due to conflicting settings files from the old:
1) Open the old secret folders and the folder(s) you want to keep.
2) Quit Secret Folders, but leave the folders open.
3) Move the file ~/Library/Application Support/Preferences/net.samuco.Secret-Folders.plist to the desktop.
4) Open the new version and a black instruction window should popup.
5) Create the new folders and drag the files from the old folders to the new.
If you did not own the previous version, the software should work without any issues.
Secret Folders allows you to easily create and hide secure password protected folders. It is an essential utility for people who want to protect their privacy. The Secret Folder and its content is invisible and cannot be found by a search or other applications.
Use Secret Folders to hide and secure that game from your sister or brother, or keep sensitive data away from your kids. If the computer is public, keep your files away from other users of that computer using a secret folder.
Secret Folders was designed to be powerful, but simple at the same time. You can instantly access your folder by clicking on the convenient lock icon in the system menu bar. You will be prompted to enter the folder username and password, or to create a new folder.
Security Notice: Secret Folders uses the standard functionality of the operating system to hide your folders. To boost security, the folders are also protected by advanced system permissions. Programmers could gain access to a secret folder without the use of the password. If you need more advanced levels of security, there are other ways of protecting data, such as encrypted Disk Images or File Vault. To learn more about Protecting data, open Mac OS X Finder's Help.
