The Sandboxie 3.70 is effective software that has the experimental feature of running other software in an enclosed zone outside the system. So, I’d like to know if it is possible to connect the experimental software into the main system.
Christopherssimonn,
Hello,
Sandboxie 3.7 is an effective software which makes the applications or softwares or browsers to run in a separate space isolated from the actual whole main system. Thus it prevents the applications or programs from accessing the data and other programs running on the main system. The applications cannot directly intrude and cannot utilize further space of the main system directly and hence do not have direct access to the hardware and disk storage of the main system.
Sandboxie integrates with the OS and hence if the applications really need to use the extra space, they need to request the OS to do it for them. Thus Sandboxie serves as a sandbox where the applications are restricted to install and run only within the sandbox. For example, the browsing history, cookies, malicious software downloaded through sand box are captured only within the sandbox and cannot attack the main system. This is the reason that the Sandboxie serves as an effective software providing enhanced security and privacy.

With Sandboxie, you can run or even install applications for testing purposes. This protects your system from malicious and untrusted software. This means you can install programs not familiar to you without modifying any local system files. The installation will remain within Sandboxie but will still allow the program to connect and interact with the system.
It’s just that the installation is temporary. The program is removed when you exit Sandboxie. Sandboxie is an open-source sandboxing application designed for Microsoft Windows only. The program constructs an isolated operating environment that allows applications to be launched or installed without permanently modifying the local system. The virtual environment allows for controlled testing of untrusted applications as well as web surfing.
Sandboxie was originally released as a tool for sandboxing Microsoft Internet Explorer in 2004 and over time, support was expanded to cover other browsers and arbitrary Win32 programs. Invincea announced the acquisition of Sandboxie in December 2013 and furthermore, Ronen Tzur, the original developer, announced he would no longer be involved with the program.
Sophos announced the acquisition of Invincea in February 2017. After different change of ownership, Sophos released the source code in April 2020 under the GPLv3 license and said they would no longer be involved in the development and the open-source community would have to continue the development. To get the latest version, go to the Sandboxie home page and read the announcement.
