![]() ![]() Then I made a mistake :-) I tried to open the file in the Dropbox folder through the Finder while BoxCryptor was running and I expected that I’d be asked for the password. The software did it’s job, encrypted the file and moved it to the folder that I had created during installation – on my dropbox. I created a text file and saved it to the BoxCryptor drive. This is the place where I’ll have to save the files that I want BoxCryptor to encrypt and automatically move to the secure folder in my Dropbox. Then I needed to define a secure password which of course I stored as a 1password secure note.īoxCryptor then created and mounted an extra drive on my Mac. I created this destination in my Dropbox. Within the typical Mac software install routine, I was asked to choose a folder where I wanted my encrypted files to live. So for my purpose the basic/free version should do it – for now -) The same extras sell for 69.99 EUR for business users. I could buy options for multiple drives and for encrypting the file names for 29.99 EUR. The free version is very functional already. And in my eyes the upgrade steps from the free version to the paid ones are set very reasonably. Just 4 words of warning: I already love it -)įirst off – BoxCryptor is a typical freemium offer.

That’s difficult for sensitive documents because storing these in the cloud is a no go. One of the benefits from going paperless is having my documents at hand whenever and wherever I suddenly need them. ![]()
