Hey Guys and Gals,
I have a program I wish to run in sandboxie and the program must have internet or it wont run.
But the program tries to send lots of data out onto the net.
Is there a way to setup a sandbox so the program can use and see the internet but cant read or access any files on the computer?
So it cant send files and other info out.
Or have a snadbox where the program can only see files that are in the sandbox and not other files?
Thanks in advance
Gren

Hi Grenpara. First of all, if I dont trust a program I wouldn't install it, or run it.
To protect your sensitive files and folders you can block sandboxed programs from accessing them via Sandbox settings>Resource access>File access>Blocked access, Click Add for navigating to the files and folders you want to protect.

If you plug the drive, the drive letter will appear, then you navigate to it via Add button and select it. You could also add the letter for the drive. You click, Edit/Add, and paste the letter. Example: E:\
