Frequently Asked Questions






 

Q: Why does Private File(tm) for Windows truncate the names of the files I encrypted on my PC?

A: The Private File encrypted file name (.pf) can be a maximum of 256 characters. However, the maximum length of a file name for the stored, encrypted, and compressed files is 31 characters, which includes the extension. The reason for this is to be compatible with the maximum length of a file name allowed on a Macintosh. Private File was designed to be cross-platform, enabling you to easily transfer files to and from the Mac OS and Windows platforms.
