Espionage is a unique encryption application. It lets you encrypt and password protect individual folders, and interact with them straight from the Finder.
No longer is it necessary to encrypt your entire home folder just to protect your email, or chat histories.
Encrypting data unnecessarily slows your computer down, and for laptop users, can be a drain on battery life. Espionage solves this problem by letting you encrypt only what you want, and it does it while integrating directly with the Finder.
Just double-click on a folder and enter your password at

Just double-click on a folder and enter your password at the prompt to unlock. Right-click on it to re-lock. Folder encryption has never been this easy before.
And for users who just want to put a password on unimportant data without securely encrypting it, such as a folder full of hundreds of videos that they don't want their grandparents to see, Espionage has them covered. While securely encrypting folders is its chief purpose, Espionage can put a password on any folder in a flash without touching its contents.

One big annoyance though is that it doesn't indicate in any way that your private folders are actually open.
With more of us not shutting down our computers for days at a time, this is a pretty glaring oversight. Especially as the interaction is through a menu item, it could easily indicate this (like Dropbox).

I finally de-activated Espionage and my errors have gone away.
I'm using a Seagate Momentus Hybrid XT 500 GB HD in my MacBook Pro 17" (now 2.53 i5) 8 GB RAM, 10.6.7
I updated Espionage to the most recent version and will give it another try.

Unfortunately, Drive Genius' DrivePulse feature causes problems for Espionage. If you disable that feature before encrypting folders, you should then be able to re-enable it after they're encrypted.
Please contact our support team if you need any assistance or run into any issues:

Of course I need a good product and affordable, but most importantly - given the critical importance of security, I need peace of mind, which comes from knowing that if I ever need help the company is there for me.
I can guarantee from direct experience that in this aspect espionage score a 5 stars too, they love their job and they care for their costumers.
Keep safe

"The operation cannot be completed because the item "Growl" is in use".
In fact, I do NOT have "Growl" installed on my computer at all, so I have no idea whatsoever what this error message is trying to tell me. My Mac is an iMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, running Mac OSX Version 10.5.6. Mr Developer ? Any suggestions ?
