Espionage 3 / Re: Help!!! Mac broken..
Last post by zsolt - August 25, 2017, 12:05:53 AMHello,
If you protected only folders on your startup disk then all Espionage related files are in one place, this is your home folder/Library/Application Support/com.taoeffect.Espionage3
This is the folder you have to copy onto the new mac before you launch espionage for the first time (if you launch it before that, it is no big deal, the difference is only that if Espionage does not find this folder on startup, it will take you through setup process and create the folder, then you have to quit Espionage and replace the newly created folder with the one from your old mac)
To reach that folder through finder, you hold the option key and select Library from the Finder's Go menu, once inside Library folder the further subfolders are normally visible.
Considering you launched Espionage already, then there will already be a com.taoeffect.Espionage3 folder. Quit espionage, rename that folder and then copy the one from your backup/old drive over.
Then launch Espionage and your folders should be there,
Let me know how it went,
Zsolt

Espionage 3 / Re: My folder disappear HELP!
Last post by zsolt - July 31, 2017, 01:59:17 PMHello Javier,
first of all do not delete anything or empty the trash.
It is a bit strange that you found the sparsebundle in the trash it should have been on your desktop.
But never mind, just make sure you do not delete it.
But there should also be a file named 2xxxxxx password do not delete.txt" this file should also be on the desktop. The password is there.
Please let me know if you found it, and then I will give you further instructions,
Rgds

Espionage 3 / My folder disappear HELP!
Last post by veneriojavier - July 31, 2017, 10:09:09 AMHi! Sorry for my English because I speak spanish.
I have this problem today. I had a folder with photos protected by Espionage in an external drive.
Today I tried restore it but in the middle of the process something happened and the process end.
Now I have 2 folder with 2 o 3 photos (I had thousands-altos 500gb) in the external drive. The other photos never showed.
So I tried to do it again but in the espionage it does´t appear the folder!!!
I tried to search where are my files and I discovered in the Recycle bin of the mac a file with the name xxxxxx.sparsebundle
When I put this file in the espionage ask me for a password that i don´t remember because I never needed.
I don´t know if I could explain myself. Someone could helpme please?

Espionage 3 / Cannot access old folders
Last post by jrp1986 - July 17, 2017, 10:29:05 PMHi everyone,
I just tried to open my encrypted folders as usual and Espionage asked to reinstall. I have reinstalled but my older folders already encrypted are not working anymore. Does someone know how I can access the older folders and recover the information there?
Thank you so much in advance!

Espionage 3 / Re: Difficulty restoring a spa...
Last post by zsolt - June 06, 2017, 01:12:13 AMYou are welcome.
The master password is sued to unlock espionage and let espionage access all the passwords it created for disk images.
Each disk image has it's own password, generated by espionage during folder encryption. You can see it if you click onto small "i" near the folder name in the folder list and then click onto copy password button.
I'm glad you got your data back,
Cheers
