I would use Exces to protect all my documents such as college papers, personal emails, scandalous picture and videos. Those are the file i would keep secure.

I could really use something like Exces. I’m developing many business plans. As any of you know, when you think you have a million dollar idea, you tell basically no one (perhaps you mom, since she can usually be trusted, unless she is a blabber-mouth like mine, although very trust worthy). No, I haven’t told her anything… because of the blabbering. I also share my computer with my wife. She is very trustworthy, and can keep a secret, but I want her to know things when I am ready to discuss them. Exces would be perfect for me. Thanks for hosting giveaways!

Peace.

I would use it on my class iMac to encrypt files that don’t need to be accessible to the students.

I share my computer with someone and sometimes you just REALLY don’t want people looking at certain things of a sensitive nature (ranging from Sekkrit Birthday Plans to financial records to, well, porn).

Exces would be just the app for the job.

I’m a bit of a ladies man. I have a text file with all of my favorite girls telephone numbers and other deets in. I am always dreading one morning waking up to my wife finding the data on the USB drive where I hide it. With Exces I would have no need to worry!

My only complaint with the app is the graphics, so I’d remove the superflous graphics and maybe add a few of the more advanced features Knox has. Otherwise, it’s great!

How about an option to hide the encrypted file?

I have a spreadsheet with usernames and passwords in it. I use the built in Microsoft password protection on the document, but I am looking for something more secure.

I would use it to hide gift lists, along wih other important files which should remain unseen…

ONe feature that i would like to see is specialized icons for the disk images, so that way i wouldnt confuse it with another .dmg file

I never really understood how this app is better than Disk Utility which provides the same basic feature – encrypted disk image.

Probably gift lists, and also (clearly) all of my top secret government documents that I have lying around on my desktop.

Here a few options:
– option to delete files after copying them to the vault.
– give custom icons to the ‘unlocked’ vaults (that are visible in the finder) instead of the common diskimage icon (perhaps even user replaceable?).
– when the vault is unlocked show it’s size and the containing files/folders in the Exces application and the possibility to open them from there as well (instead of making the finder popup).
– and optional Auto-shrink like mentioned in the article above.

Best, Joachim

One of the reasons I now use a desktop for my main machines is so that I don’t have to be as concerned about data security (if someone is already in my house, I’m in trouble anyway). However, there are some records that I need to keep absolutely secure. Therefore, I don’t really need to use FileVault to secure my entire home directory, but would like to secure say my tax records and teaching folder using Execs.

This looks like a pretty handy app. I’d like to use it to secure all of the financial data I keep on my laptop. Thanks for the review!

As a world-class secret agent, keeping important documents safe from prying eyes is a number one priority. Exces is a really quick and simple way to lock up those files while on the go, a necessity for an active person like myself who is often making a highly classified Excel document one moment, and rushing off in a heavily modified Aston Martin the next. With Exces, I would be able to secure my documents effectively and quickly, thus allowing me to spend more time saving the free world.

Recently I have started creating my own website which I want to develop to a popular web service. Due to that fact I have lots of designs and ideas saved on my MacBook. That is where I would use Exces, to secure those files, since many people tend to use my Mac, as well as I am afraid of leak of those files=my ideas to the internet. I always take care of my belongings, and I think Exces will help me in taking care if them.
