Multiple instances

boy1906

Hello,

can somebody help me with the configuration of multiple instances of boxcrypter?

I use Dropbox and want to have following mounts:
- E:\Dropbox\Boxcrypter as P:\
- E:\Dropbox\Documents as S:\

how can I do this?

Thanks.

This would also be of high interest for me. The support of multiple folders seems to be missing. I really hope that it will change with the next version.

@developers: will there be an implementation of this feature in the upcoming version?

I wanted to also express my interest in this. As soon as this is possible I'll purchase the software (as some of my volumes would definately be over the 2 gig limit!)

I'm actually a little surprised this isn't already available.

Hello
the multiple instances feature is already on our roadmap. We will do our best to implement it as soon as possible.

I have solved my problem:
- to start a second/third/... instance of BoxCryptor I created a link and put it in the autostart-folder with the following command:
[PATH TO BoxCryptor]\Boxcryptor.exe /root [PATH TO Dropbox-Folder] /password [YOUR PASSWORD] /label [NAME FOR DRIVE IN EXPLORER] /multi /mountpoint [DRIVE-LETTER]:

here is an example
"C:\Program Files\BoxCryptor\BoxCryptor.exe" /root "D:\Users\root\Dropbox\BoxCryptor" /password passwd123 /label Boxcryptor2 /multi /mountpoint U:

Alternatively you can write a simple batch file, eg. mount.bat and put it to your desktop.
In this example you'll be prompted for the passwords to enter

start "" "c:\Program Files\BoxCryptor\BoxCryptor.exe" /multi /mountpoint w: /root d:\private
start "" "c:\Program Files\BoxCryptor\BoxCryptor.exe" /multi /mountpoint x: /root d:\documents

On a x64 Windows you need to use "Program Files (x86)" instead.
