Fantastic implementation and customer service.You can find release notes for this version here: Ultimately I really like this software and the improvements they’ve made to it. Questions like “Where is my data actually being kept on the file system?” and “Contrary to the name, it’s not just ‘hiding’ the files, RIGHT? It’s actually moving and encrypting them?” We are, after all, talking about people’s personal data so they should have quite a few questions about the way it’s being moved, stored, and accessed. They were quick to answer…however I feel like a majority of what I was asking should have been readily available. I had to email the developer a few times with specific questions. Additionally, I wish their website had more information about the software. Not the worst thing in the world…but I would prefer if they used the sparsebundle which is organic to OS X. Something I don’t particularly like is that all my data is kept in their proprietary format (.hvault). I’ve even changed computers and was able to port my secure files to my new computer seemlessly. SO dang easy to use and from what I can tell, secure. ![]() I was looking for something to keep medical, tax, and personal records (documents with my social) encrypted and yet easily accessible. I’m highly satisfied with my purchase here. Easy to create and name file “drawers” within the safe though they cannot be renamed after using them. The app rates password strength as it is typed in. The app has a nice user interface with a dial on a “safe” that moves as you type in a password-though the moving dial is meaningless, it’ a fun feature. Not so, the documents are spread throughout the computer so I created special Hider files so I could more easily find the hidden documents. I expected Hider2 to be a large private file. When Hider2 is opened, anything in it can be shown or hidden wherever the files are stored. The original photo must be moved to iPhoto trash and erased. The photo must be copied out of iPhoto, put it in a file or on the desktop then it can be hidden with this app. It does not hide any photo stored in iPhoto. They remain wherever they are on the computer Hider2 simply hides them with an encryption code. Documents and photos are not moved into the safe at all.
