Boxcryptor recommended for big Evernote-database?

mros

Hello.

Currently I am using Truecrypt for my local Evernote-database, BestCrypt Traveller for my external portable usb-harddisks and AxCrypt for my synced SkyDrive.

Now I consider to use Boxcryptor for this 3 cases.

My most doubt: Will Boxcryptor be able to handle my 4 GB (and further growing) Evernote-database without any problems?

I think that Boxcryptor is mainly created to handle smaller files but when I could use this program, it could replace 3 other programs for me and so offer much more comfort.

So, do you think that it is a good idea to use Boxcryptor for such a big database?

Thanks.

Marcel.

I would consider an application that would store encrypted data within the DB.

BC handles small files very well, very test a file that large and since its a db i would consider there will be locking/searching etc ... that could case unexpected outcomes.

off course you can always try but i think you should reconsider you current solution for instance an AES encrypted external harddrive or if sticks are supported can be the best for you.

just my thoughts : )

Today I have bought "Boxcryptor Unlimited" and tried it with my 2,7 GB Evernote-database (I have shrinked my 4 GB database a little): It works without problems.

I also have made some speed-tests compared to Truecrypt (copying huge directories) and it is nearly the same speed.

So Boxcryptor will replace all other encryption-programs for me.

Why bother? You are storing your content to the Evernote servers anyway where there is less security? Or have I misunderstood?

Indeed, there's no sense in encrypting the Evernote-database regarding security at Evernote. But I think his goal is to have the local Evernote-database encrypted on his computer in case someone else gets access to this computer.

Evernote notebooks of type "local notebook" are not synced to the Evernote server.
