I was a supporter of this software. But now this guy is going crazy. Raising prices from 20$ to 30$ to 40$ in two years - for the smallest package. I now went back to virtualization software instead.

A lightweight and fast sandbox environment capable of running such complex applications as for example a web browser.

SandBoxie Plus was very upset. So much time wasted and wasted. And so, let's start with its shortcomings:
Of the pros only here:
Original, Russian version
Был очень растроен SandBoxie Plus. Столько времени потратил и впустую. И так, начнем с его недостатков:
Из плюсов только вот:
Sandboxie has a lot of settings, and it needs some configuration. For example, with your concern about access to private data, you could add the AppData folder to the "Blocked Access" section so that no sandboxed application can read from it, and separate user files will be created within the sandbox.
It's a question of the underlying concept. Sandbox solutions by default work in a way that prevents permanent modification of the host system, while still enabling access to the host's storage and configuration. That's by design. If you need a solution that prevents direct file access by default, virtualization might be a better option.
I was a supporter of this software. But now this guy is going crazy. Raising prices from 20$ to 30$ to 40$ in two years - for the smallest package. I now went back to virtualization software instead.
Although the idea is good, the reported software errors are not rectified.
You can report errors via the software if they are detected by the application. Unfortunately, certain applications cannot be installed in the sandbox, which is unfortunate. Furthermore, there is no complete installation log for the sandbox applications.
There is no way to tell which app should run in the sandbox and which should not, even though one app is required by the other in the sandbox.
The prices asked are high, 60€ per year or 1000€ once. I expect more for this amount! That's why I can't award more than one star.
Sandboxie is now an open source project.
