Load and unload your Personal Secure Drives

You can explicitly load (mount) and unload (unmount) your Personal Secure Drives, if you want to restrict access to your encrypted data.

Before you can access a PSD you need to load it. Loading a PSD requires your authorization. Once the PSD is loaded, you can access your encrypted data until you either explicitly unload the PSD, or log off or shut down your computer.

How to load your PSD

Load your PSD from the Taskbar Notification Icon, menu item Personal Secure Drive - Load (if you have set up one Personal Secure Drive) or Personal Secure Drive - <DriveLetter:DriveLabel> - Load (if you have set up more than one Personal Secure Drives).

After successful authentication, Windows Explorer is started showing your PSD.

Automatically load PSD at logon

You can set whether you want to load your PSD automatically at Windows logon.

Set this option via the Taskbar Notification Icon, menu item Personal Secure Drive - Load at logon (if you have set up one Personal Secure Drive) or Personal Secure Drive - <DriveLetter:DriveLabel> - Load at Logon (if you have set up more than one Personal Secure Drives). If this option is set, a checkmark is displayed next to Load at logon.

How to unload your PSD

Unload your PSD from the Taskbar Notification Icon, menu item Personal Secure Drive - Unload (if you have set up one Personal Secure Drive) or Personal Secure Drive - <DriveLetter:DriveLabel> - Unload (if you have set up more than one Personal Secure Drives).

PSD Load Dialog

If your PSD is going to be loaded, the authentication dialog for using Security Platform Features is displayed.

PSD Unload Dialog

If your PSD is going to be unloaded, a dialog showing the status of all your currently loaded Personal Secure Drives is displayed. If you continue and a PSD to be unloaded has open files, then a warning message will be displayed.
