Getting Started

To start using Sentry 2020, follow these easy steps:

 

1. Create new volume

 

To create a new volume, select menu command File/New. Enter the names of volume and key files, volume file size, encryption algorithm to use, and a password to encrypt volume with.

 

2. Mount the volume

 

To mount the volume, select menu command File/Mount. Enter the password used when the volume was created. If the volume is mounted for the first time, the dialog will appear asking you to format the volume. After the volume is successfully formatted, it is ready for use, and appears as a disk with drive letter in Windows Explorer and other applications.

 

3. Use the volume

 

Copy your files to and from Sentry volume, or open your files directly from Sentry volume using any application. Encryption is performed on the fly as applications access files on Sentry volume.

 

4. Dismount the volume

 

After you finished working with the volume, you should dismount it to prevent unauthorized access to your files. To dismount the volume, select menu command File/Dismount.
