Preventing migration of large splitted files

Post by S_user »

Hello ,

I just downloaded what i though as a "small" video file which turned to be a very large one ( 3.5GB) .

Sandboxie migration restriction was set to 500MB . It didnt prevent the migration and the file passed .

I am guessing that the download was done by auto splitting the file into small parts ( without me knowing ) and joining it afterwords .

Is there any way to stop such a migration of a large file if it splits and joins afterwords .

I am using sandboxie 5.33 .

It is unclear to me, how it could be prevented.

What is also unclear is how this worked out, since when you download something with a sandboxed tool, the download will end up inside the sandbox, unless some path has been opened. Maybe the logic inside Sandboxie can be improved.
