Thanks for the heads up that password protection only is a feature only of Espionage V2. Since the cost of the progarm is only $10, I think I will install it alongside V3 and see how I like it. I suspect I will use V2 for light folder password protection and V3 for more heavy-duty encryption. If that proves too cumbersome, at least I will have a direct comparison to decide which version to go with in the long haul.

Greg,
Based on your advice, I was able to manage the sparsebundle files just fine and place them in their own "images" folder on my extra internal disk drive. While I have some files that are sensitive enough that I want encryption, I also have LOTS of files that are not sensitive but I don't want other users (students) messing with them. I don't really need such strong encryption -- its just overkill. All I really want is password protection so they aren't going to go into my folders by mistake. I read somewhere that Espionage can do that for less critical files but I can't find the steps to take in the help folder or in the on-line guide. It isn't obvious from the menu options either. Please advise.

Thanks!

Espionage 3 / Manage sparsebundle files?
August 21, 2012, 06:34:16 PM
I am using Espionage for the first time, as well as encryption, and so this all is new to me. It appears easy for the most part, but I'm not happy that my first folder that was encrypted (contents empty when locked) but a foldername.sparsebundle file appears. If I do this for all 26 folders on my drive, then I will have an additional 26 *.sparsebundle files as well. Moving this file to a folder to get it out of the way kills the connection to the folder (obviously the mount point). Can anything be done with these files (move, organize.. anything) to reduce the clutter.
