Need some help with Sandboxie [SOLVED]

I use 2 step verification for Gmail and it needs the cookies for "accounts.google.com" on the PC to allow access to my mail.
If I delete the cookies, I have to use the Google Authenticator app and re-authenticate my computer. I have allowed ccleaner to skip the cookies for said site to avoid authenticating it often.

Now coming to the problem with Sandboxie, if I delete the Sandbox Contents it erases the cookies for Gmail as well and I have to reauthenticate it after every session. Grrrrr :smash:

I used to have the Delete command in Sandboxie for Ccleaner, i.e "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe" /delete "%SANDBOX%"
But it used to take ages to clean it, I am no longer using this command and use Sandboxie's default delete, I think its RMDIR.

Anyway to whitelist the cookes in Sandboxie? Or should I try adding Ccleaner's command to delete the sandbox? I am not sure if would keep the Gmail cookies though.

Issue solved: See Grr's post :) http://www.avinashtech.net/software-problems-troubleshooting/3814.htm#post21652

Not sure what the issue is at your end?

I just downloaded and installed sandboxie on my Windows 8 system. I need not authenticate every time for gmail login.

or this issue is arising out of some incompatibilities with some other programs like CCleaner? May be Grr can help unless I can duplicate the issue on my system.

Delete the sandbox contents and relogin. It used to work fine, but now it deletes the authentication cookies too :Cry:

This problem recurred for me after I had to refresh my Windows 8 install. Here are the steps that I followed to fix it.

The settings that I had to change in Sandboxie:

Open Sandboxie and click on Sandbox > DefaultBox > Sandbox Settings > Applications > Web Browser > FireFox

Add these two options and apply and close:

Allow direct access to Firefox cookies.
Allow direct access to entire Firefox profile folder.

In Ccleaner, I use this command: (Options > Include > Add)
C:\Sandbox\Ashwin\DefaultBox\*.*

File types: All file types
Options: Include files and subfolders

Also make sure you have allowed Ccleaner to presrve the cookies for your google account. If not choose to add "accounts.google.com" under Cookies to keep.
