east-tec SafeBit

Even if you’re not constantly connected to the Internet, malicious software components can still get on your PC through removable storage devices. It’s one of the reasons that might convince you to look for applications like east-tec SafeBit which makes it easy to keep important data safe, in secure, undetectable virtual drives.

The first time the application runs you’re required to create a new safe, with a setup window showing up with all the related details. A password is a mandatory requirement, with a virtual keyboard at your disposal in case you’re suspicious about your keyboard. The password can be set only to activate when a specific USB flash drive is plugged in.

Throughout the safe setup process, you also need to specify a location for the physical item. It can be placed on a personal USB flash drive for even more security. However, you need to be careful how much space is allocated, so it’s not too little or too much. Since it’s a virtual drive, a corresponding letter can also be selected from a drop-down menu, and even make it automatically load on startup.

When everything is configured, east-tec SafeBit brings up the main window, where general safe management options are available. A list shows all created safes, with the possibility to create more than one. Moreover, you can choose which to lock or leave active, with a corresponding icon and letter appearing alongside existing, real ones.

Luckily, the application can be minimized when not used. Moreover, it can be triggered with the help of hotkeys, which can be configured from the settings panel to open and close safes. The application can be made to run with Windows, and even launch File Explorer with the target drive when a safe is opened.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that east-tec SafeBit is a reliable application you can use to create virtual drives in which to store important files and folders, locking them down and hiding them with a custom password. Drives can be fitted with a custom amount of MB, and even carried around, making this application worth a try overall.
