Ghost Volt Review

Easy to use, with all the functionality to make securing your info easy and and if you use windows explorer you'll be right at home.

Long time user...

I especially like the folder aspect instead of dealing with just one file at a time. I am also very used to windows and enjoy the drag and drop a great deal. I would endorse this program to any one who is interested in protecting files through a strong encryption.

Ghostvolt a first spin

Ghostvolt has been created by the same people who authored Kruptos 2. It takes working with encrypted files to the next level by using the familiar Windows file layout. It creates an encrypted area on your PC’s hard drive and all the files within it are secured. The file is decrypted when you need to work on it and saved back to the encrypted location when you hit save. The Business version which I haven’t used allows for a comprehensive audit trail of user access to the files.

Getting the file back out (if you need to attach it to an email for instance) requires a user to “Download” the file from the secure area to the unprotected area after selecting the destination folder. It will I am sure become second nature in time. Users of Kruptos 2 should also be aware that the option to securely shred files for normal unencrypted windows files isn’t one of the features of Ghostvolt. If that feature is important to you, maybe don’t ditch Kruptos 2 and have both options to cover all the bases they are two pieces of software that are more complimentary than trying to do exactly the same job. With many SSD hard drives out there these days the shred option is possibly unreliable and a couple of articles suggest encrypting the file and deleting it is the best way to go.

In these difficult times with the rise of identity fraud and hackers a prepared user needs some sort of protection for all those important files on your hard disk should someone get past your anti virus and firewall software. I will be keeping Ghostvolt on my hard drive and using it to give me some peace of mind.

GhostVolt - Awesome Encryption Tool!

I have been a long-time user of Kruptos 2 software by the same author. I love K2 and I knew this was going to be a great product as well! The download and install was quick, easy, and full-proof. If you are familiar with Windows explorer, then this should be easy to use for you too. I was impressed by the speed when opening encrypted files such as Word and Excel files. I also love the drag and drop interface; this make securing your files easy as can be. So far, no glitched with the software. I am really impressed with the simple layout and overall concept of GhostVolt. Thanks for the great security products!

A well designed, easy-to-use tool

My needs are simple and few, but I have used Kruptos and its portable cousin for years as a simple encryption tool for certain files. This new tool is clearly well-designed and thought-out, and it offers faster and more flexible access and management of files with the addition of being able to create encrypted folders. Unlike Kruptos, files are transferred to the GV “folder” residing in the application, rather than remaining as encrypted files in regular Windows folders. All encrypted files therefore remain hidden in GV until you open the application with your password. The download and installation of GV was quick and easy. The interface is much more like Windows Explorer, allowing creation of folders and addition of files using, respectively, an icon and right-click in the desired GV folder. (GV’s folder structure uses a reveal/hide triangle by the folder name for subfolders, so make sure to click on it to see subfolders if you don’t see them; at first I ended up creating four without seeing any of them.) It’s a nice feature of the offerings that one can choose from three levels of feature sets depending on needs, from simple personal versions to business team collaboration and file audit.

GHOSTVOLT RECOMMENDED

I would certainly recommend GhostVolt to anyone. And for the following reasons. I am constantly looking for a program that is easy to use. I settled on AxCrypt for that very reason. I would say that GhostVolt, although seemingly more complex, is easy to understand and operate. What particularly impresses me about the program, bearing in mind how new it is, is the wealth of tutorials and help files already available and the step by step nature of these. The interface is simple and uncluttered and easy to use. I am very impressed with how quickly it converts and encrypts even large numbers of files. Its certainly quicker than AxCrypt. The Teams/Sharing function is also easy to use although of limited value to me as a home user. I havent found any glitches as yet. So very happy and will continue to use it as it is practical and simple to use.

Easy, powerful and all in a familiar Windows Explorer environment.

If you can work Window Explorer, you can use GhostVolt.
This software works like a dream. From the installation, to the implementation and use, it is clear the developer has a talent.
The installation is so well thought out, that it not only walks (and encourages you) to do a trial, it gives you shortcuts to verify your email, create an emergency login document and then go through the tour.
Moving files, encrypting is automatic, decrypting files and even editing files are a breeze...again, just like you're working in the Windows environment.
I was hooked with Kruptos, and now I love GhostVolt.
