How can I protect the applications and the user data on a U3 smart drive?
Most U3 smart drive models include password protection feature. Once you invoke the password protection for the U3 smart drive, no one can see the mass storage area until a proper password is entered. This also refers to accessing the drive itself. The files cannot be seen without entering the password correctly. If your smart drive does not include a bundled password protection application, check for updates to the U3 Launchpad. If your flash drive manufacturer ships a version of the U3 Launchpad without password protection, there are a number of data encryption applications on U3 Software Central that you can install on your U3 smart drive to protect your data.
