disable filename encryption in an existing encrypted folder on OS X Mountain Lion

Sidewinder

Hi folks,

is it possible to disable filename encryption in an existing encrypted folder on OS X Mountain Lion?
The command line tool necessary is an .exe file. Not usable for Mac.
Any ideas?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Kind regards.

As I know, a direct change from encrypted to unencrypted filenames (and vice versa) via BC References isn't possible at this moment. You have to create a new BC folder WITHOUT filename encryption. After that, open the old and new volume and copy all (decrypted) files in the new volume.

Hi,

yes, Dede is right here. Just use the workaround described above.
A simple solution for this will come most probably with the version 1.2 of BoxCryptor for Mac.

Best regards,
Adrian.

Hi guys,

thanks a lot for the quick reply.
I did it just the way you suggested.
Unfortunately that required a re-sync of all Dropbox data.
Thus I was hoping for a direct way to change it.
Nevertheless, now everything is fine.

Kind regards,
Sebastian.
