MySafeConsole FAQs
What is MySafeConsole, and why should I manage my device?
MySafeConsole is a cloud-based device management platform that gives you control and extra security for your encrypted USB drives. When you manage your device with MySafeConsole, you gain benefits such as:
- Remote Password Recovery – Reset your device password if you forget it.
- Security & Software Updates – Keep your device protected with the latest features and fixes.
- Device Tracking – Monitor devices and view usage details.
Managing your device ensures maximum security, convenience, and compliance. If you skip management, your device will still work, but you’ll lose these benefits—and if you forget your password, your data will be permanently locked.
Privacy and Data Security:
Managing your device does not give MySafeConsole or DataLocker access to your files. The system only sees file types for auditing purposes—it never reads or stores your actual data. Your files remain fully encrypted on the flash drive at all times.

My unique activation code has expired. How do I get a new code?

- Click "Request New Code".
- A fresh activation code will be generated for you.

What can I do in the MySafeConsole dashboard?
Take a tour of the MySafeConsole dashboard and see the tools available to protect and manage your device.
MySafeConsole Dashboard Demo
You’ll learn how to:
- View total encrypted data and device status
- Track files and threats with built-in security insights
- Manage and customize your device settings
How do I access and store encrypted data on my DL GO?
Once you’ve set up your DL GO and entered your device password, you’ll see a secure storage partition appear on your computer called ENCRYPTED. This is where all of your protected files live.
To use it:
- Open the ENCRYPTED drive from Finder (Mac) or File Explorer (Windows).
- Save, copy, or move files into the ENCRYPTED partition just like you would with any regular USB drive.
- Any files stored here are automatically protected with your DL GO’s hardware encryption.
💡 Tip: Always work from the ENCRYPTED drive. Files saved outside of this partition will not be encrypted.

Why do I see more than one partition (like DATALOCKER and ENCRYPTED)?
When you plug in your DL GO, your computer may show two partitions:
- DATALOCKER – This contains the setup software and tools needed to activate and manage your device. You’ll only use this partition during the initial setup or if you ever need to reinstall the software.
- ENCRYPTED – This is your secure storage area. Once you’ve unlocked your device with your password, save all your files here. Anything stored in the ENCRYPTED partition is automatically protected with strong hardware encryption.
💡 Tip: Think of DATALOCKER as the “keys” to the device and ENCRYPTED as the “safe” where your files are stored.

Does MySafeConsole have access to my data?
No. MySafeConsole never reads or stores your files. Your data stays fully encrypted on the flash drive at all times.
When your device is managed, the system only collects metadata for security and auditing purposes—such as file types and activity logs. This information helps provide features like device tracking, compliance reporting, and usage audits, but it does not include the actual content of your files.
Your privacy and security remain fully protected, and all features comply with GDPR and other global data protection standards.
