Hello community!
I'm trying out SandBoxie Plus.
While a couple of programs I tried could be installed, I am having difficulty with a few others:
1. iTunes
I have multiple Apple IDs, and I wanted to sign in on another iTunes inside Sandbox to avoid my earlier method of using a separate user on Windows just so I can install a fresh copy of iTunes.
Somehow, the installer automatically detects the existing installation and asking for repairing/ removing it first:
How do I bypass this?
2. Paragon Software to mount APFS & HFS file systems
My external SSD has multiple partitions: APFS+, HFS+, NTFS & exFAT.
I make a dedicated partition in exFAT only to make it read/ write capable on both MacBook as well as Windows laptop. This exFAT partition has a typical problem: it can't be extended or shrunk like other file systems. One has to backup all data, reformat to change partition sizes, then format a partition in exFAT again before restoring the backup. This is tedious.
I thought of giving this software a try first. But when trying to install inside the sandbox, I get the following error:
How do I fix this?
3. XY Explorer
This app has a peculiar problem. I used a read only user account to access my NAS files using this program. To my surprise during testing, I was able to write new files as well as delete existing files. Fortunately, however, all these changes only happened inside the sandbox and no files on my NAS were affected.
Can we say that file managers are useless inside the sandbox?
Thanks.
