No the software used with this is optional. It is for file encryption. The drive works perfectly fine without anything additional installed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hmm. Forgot to mention it my review, but there was actually some kind of a glitch when I tried to download SanDisk's latest version of the on-drive encryption software, so I just used the SanDisk encryption software that was already on the drive. And eventually I decided not to use it, because, ehh, I just thought it was a little clunky to use and there's gotta be better encryption software out there. But as to any other software requirements: Nope -- at least not for the Windows PC I use, and I doubt it'd be any different for a Mac. Just plugged it into the USB port & started using it.

What you may want to do is reformat the flash drive using Disk Utilities on the Mac. Unfortunately if you reformat the flash drive for use with a Mac, you will not be able to use it with the window system. If you want to use it for both Mac and Windows system I would suggest formatting for FAT32.
