Dekart Private Disk supports the shared use of the virtual secret disk data in a network. To allow other users to access the secret disk data, it must be connected to the computer where the file-image is located (See the section Mounting/unmounting virtual encrypted disk above). Next, the shared use must be setup with the help of the standard Windows OS utilities (similarly to the shared use of a conventional drive).
Note: When the disk is deactivated, disk access will be immediately disabled for all users and the currently processed data can be lost.
To enable disk sharing, do the following (this example is for Windows XP):
| • | Double click My Computer. |
| • | In the appearing My Computer window, select the virtual secret disk and right-click it. Select Properties. Click the Sharing button shown in Figure 34. Setup values in the Shared As, Access Type fields and click Apply. |
