If I store my bestcrypt containers on a network drive, will several users then be able to access the container simultaneously from different PCs?

There are two ways of opening a container stored on a remote computer (let’s consider it as a server). • If BestCrypt is installed on server, one can mount a container on the server (the option “Mount for all users” must be set) and then share the logical disk in network for a group of users. In this case, all users will have full access to the container, but the data transfers through network in opened form. • If BestCrypt is installed on user’ workstation, the user can mount container, stored on remote Server. In this case, only one user can mount the container in full read/write mode. If some other user tries to mount the same container at the same time, he/she will get ‘read-only’ access to the container file. In this case the data transfers through network in encrypted form, BestCrypt decrypts the data on the ‘client’ workstation.
