InvisibleFile App Comentários

I wanted to like this app

I thought the interface was nice…very easy to use, excactly what I was looking for, an easy way to hide folders and the files within them. At first it worked great and I hid 4 folders in my Documents folder. Locked and unlocked with ease. Next day I went back in to unlock a folder and it wouldn’t let me, it gave me an error message. 3 of my folders were stuck on “locked”. 1 of the 4 I was able to unlock normally. Fortunately I discovered a terminal command that allowed me to un-hide the files in those folders and recover them. Message to the developer is so far unanswered.

DOES NOT WORK WITH YOSEMITE

I have been using the app with ease for 2 years. Now when i updated to Yosemite my files will not open beucase they are not supported. All my info is lost

Urgent

if i forget the password what should i do ?

Horrible -- DO NOT BUY

So, bought this app because I wanted to keep important files hidden from people who might go on my computer and browse around. The app itself worked alright, but when I made my folders invisible I was unable to make them visible again. The application deleted one of my folders after making it visible again. Not sure what the hell happened, but DO NOT SPEND THE MONEY! I'm contacting their support to see how to get my files back.

Simple and Effective

I like the app it was worth the money I paid for it, hope it continues to work. Had a similar program and it developed buggs.

Still can see pictures

When you hid pictures that are in iPhoto you can still see the photos when they are in thumbnail side. Only when you click on them to open to they show as hidden.

Love it

Very useful for hiding files from prying eyes on your screen. It is easy to make files/folders invisible and then it is easy to make them visible again. However, each time you want to make a file visible, you must type in your password. So, I would say that it is a useful, easy file/folder lock.

works great :)

I bought a file encrypter app on the app store and it was fine but only encrypted one file at a time so very tedious. With this app (invisiblefile) I can "hide" a whole folder with contents in the folder. This invisiblefile app is easy to use. I recomend this app for an inexpensive option to hide files.

crap

it does not work at all. everytime i go into the app it just asks for a new password and the files that i made invisible are not in the app and still completely visible. the only change it makes is that the file or folder is a lighter color. piece of junk app!

deleted all of my files

i put all of the files that i wanted to be hidden from prying eyes and when i closed the app it deleted all of my files and now are no were in my computer DO NOT BUY

Worked good then, now it doesn

I had this on my mac and it worked great, now that I have OS X Lion it doesn't work. It says the files are all locked so it can't make it visible or invisible. I checked the file, and it wasn't locked. So I gave it three stars, cause it worked great when I had it, and now it doesn't work at all. Hopefully they'll have a new update that actually works soon...

Loved it, hated customer experience with developers though

So I have been using this for a few months now. Worked great. Now that I have Lion, they have not updated - so it won't work with the new OS. Also, I sent an e-mail to the company with a few simple suggestions that they completely blew off. One simple suggestion was changing the slider bar so people could actually know if the folder was invisible or not. The one they have right now is VERY difficult to know at a glance. The other suggestion was allowing someone to type their password in the beginning and pressing ENTER instead of having to use your mouse to click done or ok. People don't necessarily like using the mouse if they don't have to. If they can update for Lion and include these little tweaks (that would take NO time at all, this program would be AWESOME again.

I can't open it

After I bought it, I tried to open it, but it does not open at all.

Glitchy… But, It Gets The Job Done (Before OS X Lion)

When it works properly, InvisibleFile does exactly what it should. It makes whatever file(s)/folder(s) you specify completely invisible and impossible to find. When it's not working properly, the files you make invisible become corrupted and cannot be opened (or even made visible). This has randomly happened to me twice. DO NOT USE THIS APP IF YOU ARE NOT USING TIME MACHINE TO BACK UP YOUR FILES!!! Everything I've lost due to this app's glitchiness has been saved soley because I was able to restore my files using Time Machine. Otherwise, they'd be gone forever and I'd be giving this app 1 star. In testing, I've come to the conclusion that InvisibleFile won't corrupt the files you're trying to hide as long as you keep those files/folders located on the desktop. DO NOT HIDE FOLDERS WITHIN FOLDERS. Keep ONE folder on your desktop containing NO OTHER FOLDERS and only the files you want to make invisible. Make that folder on your desktop invisible and you should be safe. Now, this review was written pre-OS X Lion. BEWARE: CURRENTLY, THIS APP WILL NOT OPEN IF OS X LION IS INSTALLED ONTO YOUR MAC. Until InvisibleFile is updated to run on OS X Lion, it is completely useless.

oh....

I just downloaded, set the password, and forgot the password.........

Great, but....

This is great if you don't like using terminal and are more of a GUI (Graphical User Interface) e.g. the stuff that doesn't involve fancy commands then this is great for you. However, with a quick command or two you can make files invisible, by first learning to use the cd command to navigate through terminal folders, and then when you are in the directory of the file which you want to make invisible. If the file is called blah.jpg, then you would use the following command "sudo mv blah.jpg .blah.jpg" without quotes.

Buy It!!!!!!

Buy it you wont be disappointed! It gives great file privacy!!!!

Great!

I bought this app so I could finally get some real privacy. I put whatever I want into it and they are virtually impossible to find. Trust me. Its very easy to make them unfinable to everyone, but still easily accesible to me. The only thn gthough is that you would have to hide the actual app that says "InvisibleFile". That could get some people suspitious. (bad spelling). Just put it deep somewhere in finder where you will remember. Over all great app
