Why would I use Espionage 3.0 if I now use Filevault regularly on all my Macs?
What are the advantages vs disadvantages of doing so?
Some reasons could include:
- Espionage 3 adds an added layer of protection on top of FileVault. If your FileVault password is cracked, or you're forced to give it up, then all of your files are exposed.
- You can give your computer to a friend to use without worrying that they'll be able to access certain files
- You can sync your encrypted data with Dropbox (http://www.espionageapp.com/EspionageHelp/pages/ex2-dropbox.html) between computers.
- Some users have multiple user accounts and want users to be able to use the machine without knowing the FileVault password
I can't think of any disadvantages.
