Hello, I have a corporate PC which doesn't allow a user to install anything and all USB ports are disabled. Is it possible to export DIrectory Opus inside a folder the same way it is done for exporting to the USB drive? I have bought a USB export license hoping that I will be able to just copy pa…

The USB stick has to be plugged in, unfortunately. A version exported to a USB stick can be copied to an internal drive and run from there, but the USB stick it was exported to still has to be plugged in.

@Leo , Thank you for the answer. Unfortunately, using USB sticks is not an option. Is there any other way?

None that I know of, at least currently. (I'm surprised companies that lock things down so much allow programs to be executed out of temp folders as well, if their aim is to block people running other software. Maybe they don't know they can do that.)

@Leo , Thank you for the information. You are right. However, it is a reality. And as far as I see, other commercial SW adapts to that by providing standalone portable packages like for example Syntevo SmartGit , SmartSVN , Sublime text .

Any chance of releasing a version that doesn't require admin rights to install?

I am in the same situation. Companies are blocking everything, which I understand to a degree. But on the other side of the coin there are some tools that I use that save me a TON of time. Luckily "portable" versions for now don't set off any red flags. I am able to email my self parts of a port…

If the USB ports are only disabled for mass storage devices like USB sticks, then you have a chance to use it. Export Directory Opus onto a USB dongle with the option "use this drive as a dongle". Zip the files from the USB stick, send them to yourself via email, and unzip them into a folder on your…

@Leo and the amazing DOpus team: The request of a portable version, maybe with a slightly reduced functionality, e.g. not registering it as a MS File Explorer replacement, is still there. Companies restrict the work machines more and more .... and yes, it might be that they don't know how to block …

There is already a portable version. :slight_smile:

Perfect! Many thanks for the info ... but where do I find the download for the portable version for DOpus 13.21!? On the download stage I only see the normal install.

Portable version of Directory Opus?
