What is an SBE file?

SBE files mostly belong to Sophos SafeBoot. SBE files come in two main forms. The primary type is the Sophos SafeBoot Encrypted file, used to store system or boot data in an encrypted container. This file requires proper decryption keys and is managed by SafeBoot encryption software to protect sensitive information.
The other type is a screen capture file created by Medal.tv. In this case, the file holds recorded video data, such as gameplay or desktop captures. To view or edit these, you must use the Medal.tv application. For more details, visit Medal.tv.
  • Encryption: Stores data securely through proprietary encryption.
  • Screen Capture: Contains video recordings produced during capture sessions.
  • Each version must be opened with its matching software to function correctly.
  • How do you open SBE files?

    You need a suitable software like Sophos SafeBoot to open an SBE file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your SBE file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SBE file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
