Using SafeHouse with Popular Applications

This web page will help you learn how to use your favorite software applications with SafeHouse.

The first thing to keep in mind is that a mapped SafeHouse volume appears to Windows and your applications simply as another drive letter. For many products, saving documents securely is as simple as saving them to the SafeHouse drive letter. On the other hand, products such as Microsoft Word automatically create temporary recovery files to help you after an unexpected crash, and these types of products require a few extra steps to ensure that any temporary files they create are created on the encrypted drive so your sensitive information is never left in the clear.

Considerations for working with sensitive data:

Save your documents to the SafeHouse drive letter.

Check your application preference settings to make sure that temporary files will be created on the SafeHouse drive instead of on your standard drive.

For applications such as accounting, database and email programs, follow the publisher's instructions for moving their data files to another drive - the SafeHouse drive.
