* Get detailed information about your disk images: their formats, partitions, compression ratios, checksums, etc. New log entries are also reported via Growl. * Keeps a detailed log of all successful operations and any errors, including statistics such as throughput and how much space was saved by compression. * Uses multiple processor cores for faster compression and encryption. * Performs multiple operations at the same time, so you can keep working while DropDMG is processing in the background.

* Mount encrypted segmented disk images without entering the passphrase for each segment separately. * Mount disk images in specific locations in the file system so that your applications can keep their support files encrypted.
#DROPDMG APP MAC OS X#
* Optionally store your passphrases in the Mac OS X Keychain, so you can quickly create and access encrypted disk images, without the hassle of double typing or the risk of typing errors. * Choose from 128-bit and 256-bit AES encryption, approved by the US National Security Agency. * Create encrypted, compressed disk images to transfer files securely via email, iDisk or FTP or to store backups securely. DropDMG’s encrypted, writable disk images are faster and more secure than Apple’s FileVault, but just as safe and searchable through Spotlight. * Encrypt files you want to keep private. This is useful for backups and for setting up multiple computers in a lab.

#DROPDMG APP SOFTWARE#
Create a device image of an entire hard drive, optimized for recovery, in one step with Apple Software Restore or Disk Utility. You can then burn bootable backups of the disc or double-click the disc image to access its contents as if the disc were still in your optical drive. * Create a device image that captures the exact contents of a data CD or DVD. * Check the integrity of your backups and archives to make sure the media is still intact and that you can restore them if necessary. * Split large files or folders into multiple segments to burn them to optical discs or easily transfer them over a network. Choose faster or more efficient compression. * Save disk space and network transfer time by compressing your files. Zlib disk images and ZIP archives created by DropDMG are smaller than those created by Disk Utility and the Finder. * DropDMG supports all major formats, including compressed. There are also many other useful ways to invoke DropDMG. * Create and convert disk images and archives with a simple drag and drop. It can also be automated through AppleScript, the command line and Automator. There are many time savings such as configurations to keep track of your favorite combinations of settings.
#DROPDMG APP ARCHIVE#
They are the only archive format whose contents can be opened directly in the Finder, without the potentially slow and disk-consuming step of expanding the files to a folder.ĭropDMG supports advanced options such as encrypted and segmented disc images, background images and custom volume icons and rich text licensing agreements in multiple languages. Disk images package entire folders or disks into a single compressed file, either for transport over the Internet or simply for backup.
