Automatic unmount at standby or hibernate

sepp2000

Is there a possibility to automatically unmount the encrypted drive on standby and hibernate? Otherwise there would be the danger of forgetting to manually unmount, and anybody who steals my laptop can access my data!

Hi,

the focus of BoxCryptor is file encryption in the cloud (== Dropybox). It is not meant to fulfill high security standards on your machine. That’s the only explanation why you can save your password.

If somebody steals your laptop you are in big troubles with or without BoxCryptor. For example imagine how many passwords you have stored in your browser! ;-)
I highly suggest TrueCrypt with a full System Encryption. Before booting you have to supply a password. Even when waking up from hibernation.

This is indeed a good idea, very effective

Sorry for bringing this old topic up - but I disagree and would surely appreciate a feature that auto-dismounts volumes before standby or hibernate.
I don't see why I need to encrypt my whole computer if all sensitive data (including my browser profile btw) is encrypted on the machine. I experienced trouble with whole-disk encryption and, therefore, would prefer the BoxCryptor solution with auto-dismount.

I would be glad to discuss this question with you.
