While they can be dragged out they can't be used until run through Mozy Decrypt. Sure enough, the file in the dmg are encrypted.

If you try to open them directly from the .dmg, it should not work. (If it does, then there's a serious bug and please let us know ASAP!) This is why you need the Mozy Decrypt app - you tell it the location of the .dmg, a folder to decrypt to, and your key, and it decrypts the individual files. This process is the same on Windows - the .zip file you download has files encrypted with your key. (Clearly the process can be improved and we're definitely working on it). Thanks for all the feedback about the beta. Everything that you mentioned is going to be addressed in future releases. -E-mail address deleted by admin- Ray,
