Implementation of EncFS features

Geronimo

I understand that Boxryptor is a commercial windows port of opensource EncFS, so one of the two existing solutions for windows OS.
Having tried both solutions yours, expectedly as it's a more stable realease, works better when it comes to saving data (downloads, Office).
However the downside is that Boxcryptor doesn't support the different features EncFS
offers, such as algoriths (Blowfish), block encryption and so on.
The FAQ state that implementing _read_ access EncFS folders set up with a different set of options is already targeted (hopefully with priority ?).
Any plans to implement a broader set of EncFS options for creation ?
Thanks

Any news on that topic from the devs ? Thanks

Hello Geronimo
At the moment we focus on the iOs BoxCryptor app so we have no news for you but you can vote for features on our feedback site.

Hi Boris,

thanks for your answer and a happy new year.
However, also related to the most recent posting here from "user" asking for a roadmap,
my question was about the plans, aka roadmap, _you_ guys as the developers have yourselves independent from votings for wishful features.
Guess this is quite important to know for a potential customer who cannot count on if his wishes get enough future votings in order to evaluate. So, what will be the priorities from your point of view please.

Thanks

Robert

Hi Geronimo, I just replied to the "Roadmap"-thread:

Basically, BoxCryptor is not and will not be a Windows port of EncFS. Although our goal is to support all *important* features of EncFS and to have great EncFS compatibility, we will never offer full 100%. Our vision for BoxCryptor is something "bigger" and even though EncFS works good with cloud storage, it is not *optimized* for this use case.
