Yeah, not so techy, but I think it describes it well for those who have no idea about it. So it pays to understand just what sandboxie is doing, how it segregates things apart and how you go about recovering things before you wipe a sandbox clean. A copy is made if needed, and all work is done off the copy - so if you delete the sandbox, all your REAL files are still in order and only your NEW FILES that are in the sandbox only are deleted. This is what keeps things so nice and clean and secure. It is because, if a file is in the real system, sandboxie might make a copy of it to use in the sandbox for different reasons.
You must "recover" items from the sandbox to the real system to keep it.Īnother thing people are sometimes confused about is why the contents of a given sandbox will have the exact same files and folders of thier real system. What you download, the cache, anything and everything will be there. This sandbox folder contains everything that happens in the sandbox. Every sandbox you make gets a folder created for it at c:\sandbox\ But, they are not thinking - they made them in the sandbox, so where would you expect them to find the new toys? Still in the sandbox, unless they explicitly move them to the yard. They went to the sandbox, and made some nice toys out of sand, and then the next day they look for those toys in the back yard. One issue that seems to be common with users of sandboxie is they don't understand where thier files are.
SANDBOXIE PORTABLE DOWNLOAD
Think of the files you download or documents you create while you are in the sandbox, they must be taken out of the sandbox to be kept permenantely or they will be gone when you delete the sandbox. One thing to remember is that if you build somthing in the sandbox that you want to keep, you have to put it in the yard before you rake it flat, or it will be lost. However, when you get a problem in the sandbox, you rake it flat and all those castles and moats are gone, leaving a clean sandbox for you to start building in again. Things that happen in the sandbox stay there, and it seems as if everything is going on as normal to the user. When you start a program within the sandbox, it stays there and not in the yard because of the sandbox perimeter - like a steel box that keeps the sand inside.
I always like the analogy of a literal sandbox. Re: What is Sandiebox and how / when to use it?
