An Encrypted Drive is an encrypted file, which CryptArchiver loads as a disk drive. The encryption process is completely transparent both to Windows, and to other applications or programs. This means that you (and other applications) can treat the Encrypted Drive like any other drive or like your hard disk. Programs can create, access and save files on the encrypted drive. You can even share an Encrypted Drive.
The data in the drive is encrypted on-the-fly. When unloaded, the drive disappears from Windows. No application or person can access data from an unloaded Encrypted Drive.
The Encrypted Drive File itself is encrypted using strong cryptographic algorithms, so that no one can load it or break it open, without the correct password.

Tip: You can open and use the Encrypted Drive with Windows Explorer, and also from within "My Computer".

Once you have finished working with the Encrypted Drive, don't forget to unload it!
