Broken

I have used Boxcryptor free for the last 3 years mostly the Windows desktop version.
Just tried the iPhone app (old version ) and it doesn’t work so I updated to this latest version but it doesn’t work either. Cannot find a user with that name.
Fortunately the desktop version still can.

Awful handling of retirement

Unclear instructions, missing notifications until the last minute, and dupes on dupes on dupes on dupes. Spent so much time cleaning up their poorly designed exit strategy. I hope they got paid enough by Dropbox to ignore their customers.

Garbage app, garbage company

They kept removing features and then just shut it all down. Good riddance to bad garbage

They’re canceling accounts on 1-31-23

Just got a email from them saying my account and all its data will be deleted…no reason or explanation given. Apparently, other folks are receiving the same notice. All I can say is good riddance and goodbye because their service was horrible and I never trusted them to begin with….so delete away. Bye Bye, you won’t be missed.
*Update: Dropbox has acquired Boxcryptor Dec. ‘22. In doing so, Dropbox will eventually add Zero Knowledge encryption to their services. Great huh? Not unless you want to pay $20 a month for their required Business account.

FAQ

What does Boxcryptor do?

Boxcryptor encrypts your files locally before you upload them to cloud storage services like Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive.

What are the key features of Boxcryptor?

Key features include support for most cloud storage providers, the ability to encrypt and decrypt files directly on your device without transmitting your password, secure file encryption using AES-256 and RSA-4096 standards, and synchronization with desktop devices. It also offers filename encryption for even greater privacy.

Is Boxcryptor free to use?

The core functionality of Boxcryptor, including encrypting files before uploading them to supported cloud providers and accessing them on your mobile device, is available for free. There are also paid options like Boxcryptor Unlimited and the Company Package that offer additional features for enhanced privacy and business use.

What devices is Boxcryptor compatible with?

Boxcryptor is available for mobile devices including iPhone, iPod, and iPad. It also offers desktop applications for Mac, Windows, and Linux, allowing you to sync your encrypted files across all your devices.

How does Boxcryptor protect my data?

Boxcryptor protects your data by encrypting your files locally on your device using strong encryption standards like AES-256 and RSA-4096 before they are uploaded to your chosen cloud storage provider.
