If you have confidential and/or secret computer files or documents, how do you protect and/or store them ?
Do you pass-word protect those sensitive files or do you store or save them in a thumb drive or pocket hard disk ?
I recently discovered a way of protecting secret and confidential files using a "Data Security USB Key".
It is a new and revolutionary product in computer data security. A new EasySafe drive is created on your computer. Data is physically saved onto harddisk through the EasySafe USB drive. The EasySafe drive will disappear when the hardware device (Easy Key) is removed.
More info on the EasySafe USB Key is available at:

I password protect my sensitive files. I also have an online drive as well as use Cdrs. But then I am the only one using my computer. I was thinking of getting a USB drive, but mainly because I write and I can use it on any computer, then after I fix up my novel, all I have to do is to remove it after I wrote what I needed to. I guess with this EasySafe Drive, you need a certain amount of hard drive space. So what happens when you remove this EasySafe USB drive and go to another computer? Is the work only on the first computer and this EasySafe is just a key to make it show up?

I am not sure if this EasySafe USB drive will work only on the first computer as this is a relatively new concept/technology to me.
If I am not wrong, data can also be saved on this EasySafe USB drive just like an ordinary USB thumbdrive. Therefore, data files may be able to show up on other computers. I have used ordinary USB thumbdrives and data files can be transferred to another computer for viewing, editing and saving.

It is good to know that your computer files are kept very safely and securely. :-)
I think the choice of good and hard to guess passwords are important too.

Sorry, I couldn't understand that.
Do you mean to say that you had tried to protect your passwords but are unable to log on ?
