Question 1
How do I use Shred Cube?

Plug the cube into your computer and drag and drop or attach all files and folders necessary into the application that opens on your computer.

Minimize and leave Shred Cube plugged in for drag-and-drop use, or disconnect the cube by simply unplugging it. For more details, please refer to our Quick Start Guide.

Question 8
Why use this instead of a program?
Answer:
Programs installed on a computer keep log files on any given action completed, potentially compromising the security of any “secure” deletion task. The very best IT professionals and hackers use an external device to control a computer without any trace of action. Shred Cube mimics this and gives you the flexibility to use this on any device you wish.

Will this download something on my computer?
Answer:
No. Your computer may run a compatibility check and ask for permissions to allow the device to run, but it will not install any sort of software or program onto your computer.

its not necessary and will not change how your hard drive functions.
Question 12
Does the Shred Cube free up space on my computer?
Answer:
