Basicly, read only if mounted by multiple clients, else use a server to mount the volume and then share it.

The idea behind this feature is that you can only access the encrypted volume if all keyfiles are available. Every user has one keyfile. If you have only one keyfile, you can’t access the volume. Only if all users come together can they access the encrypted data. But this is all done on one PC. Darshan, if I remember it right, it has nothing to do with multi-user shared access.

Can you pls explain further how truecrypt can be used in multi-user shared access. i.e. 2 user mounting the same volume concurrently…..

I was successful in making a "file container" but it just shows up as a document.how can I have a folder that does the same thing? truecrypt forums are "down " right now so I cant ask them.

You can then copy it to the memory stick. I guess it would be faster. Maarten, I recommend creating the TrueCrypt file on a hard disk. You can then copy it to the memory stick.

We use it to safeguard data transported on USB disks. The only flaw to me is that it takes quite some time to format a 500 Mb disk with TrueCrypt: it can take me about four hours!!

I set up the program and made a My Volume folder in my C drive just like it told me to do. I made a passphrase and everything. But where did all the files go in my drives, how do I access them? If you can help, that would be great! Thanks, Patrick Hello,
