Open the external disk in sendboxie

Post by sgabanix »

Hi guys, I recently discovered Sandboxie, I saw that you can open programs, files and folders unsafe, but one thing is not clear to me, if I connect an external drive via USB to the PC, in which there is malware, not to to infect the pc, is it possible to open the external disk in sendboxie?

Yes, you can open files from external drives in Sandboxie. You might open just the files or start an instance of the explorer with Sandboxie from which you can access the files.

It is still problematic to attach devices you deem untrustworthy (or that are of unknown origin) since it might not be a drive or the file handler for the preview might be tricked into executing something.
