    How exactly does one integrate ImDisk with SBIE+? I've been using this combo for a long time, but I've never let SBIE combine the two. I'm using an older version of ImDisk, so I figured I might as well let SBIE+ take the lead if I'm going to update I read the documentation at github, and I make the sandboxie.ini alterations, but it doesn't mention how to integrate the driver or how to set a drive letter.

    How anyone used this function with SBIE+. If so, how?

    Me too. I've been using ImDisk since forever, long before DavidXanatos included it into SBIE. All my boxes load into the RAMdisk.

    Same. But the documentation on how to integrate the two is lacking.

    Just choose the ramdisk as the location for your sandboxes in options.

    There are options in global settings > addons manager > ImDisk Toolkit. But there's really no integration. You still have to install ImDisk yourself. I was under the impression that the point was that SBIE+ did that for you. But that doesn't seem to be the case. What's the point then? Just do it manually.

    Out of curiosity, I just tried the integration in global settings like you did, but:
    Yeah I noticed that.
    Same thoughts. I'm with you, I do not understand.


    So, @DavidXanatos or @busy please help!!! :D

    The included Imdisk is only usable with the paid version of Sandboxie Plus.

    Having the ImDisk integration addon allows to set:

    Box Options -> File Options -> "Store the sandbox content in a Ram Disk"
    and
    Box Options -> File Options -> "Encrypt sandbox content"


    It also makes "confidential boxes" possible where the content is stored in an encrypted image (mounted automatically when needed, with access from non-boxed proceses blocked -- so data can never leak outside the box)
