KaKa Private Disk 4.01

Overview

KaKa Private Disk is a private virtual disk package that can create, administer and protect access to a personal digital lock-box.

The software lets the user create multiple virtual disk spaces of a single size which can grow with the requirements of the user. These can be named, have their own description to make them easier to identify later, and have the benefit of password protection if necessary too.

The application itself is very small and simple. There are just a small row of buttons to choose from to get started and the physical disks are shown in the main window. Setting up a virtual disk is pretty easy too with only a few details needed to be completed in order to get started.

Hot keys can be used to open or close a virtual private disk.

The software can also be installed on a USB flash drive and accessed from any other PC once the USB stick has been plugged into the machine without the need to install the software on the secondary PC.

Installation

The software required 8.5 MB of available space to complete the setup package. The installation completed without any difficulties.

The package can also be installed on a USB flash drive (there is no separate portable version here) and then the stick can be used on another PC without needing to install the software on the other PC first.; installation on the USB flash drive is sufficient.

There was no adware, toolbars, malware or spyware included with the setup program.

KaKa Private Disk requires Windows 7, Vista, 2003, XP or 2000.

Interface

The interface is clean and simple.

There is a main screen which details the disk names, drive letter, disk space available, and status of each drive located. To the right are buttons for New Disk, Open Disk, Close All, and Operations.

Clicking on the New Disk button brings up a separate dialog window which lets the user specify the drive to use, its location, whether a password is to be used to secure the opening of the virtual disk, and both a private disk name and a possible description.
