Feature Request: Move deleted files into Recycle Bin

deka

If I would not use BoxCryptor and would delete a file on windows in the BoxCrypor directory it would be moved into the Recycle Bin where I it usually stays for a very long time.

Using BoxCryptor seems to delete a file permanently which is risky. If I work without internet connection (e.g. in a plane) then I can't continue working till we land and I can access it from the could storage. But I might be busy then and forget about this and for example MS Skydrive only guarantees to keep deleted files for 3 days (Skydrive didn't even have a way to restore deleted files till Sept last year).

It would just be way better if I could simply get it from the Recycle Bin and continue working. If you are worried about security you could move the encrypted file into the recycle bin.

Thanks!

Hello Deka,

you can enable the recycle bin in the advanced mode:

1. Right click the padlock and open preferences
2. Switch to advanced mode
3. Now you see your Drive, right click it and select edit
4. Click next on the first screen (or choose a new drive letter), and now you can enable the recycle bin.

Best regards,
David

Hi David,

thanks for your answer.

I found the "Enable recycle bin" checkbox. However it's greyed out for me.
Is this because I am currently using the free version of boxcryptor ?

Thanks !

Hi deka,

no, it is greyed out because you also have to mount the drive for all users. The recycle bin is handled by the SYSTEM user, which, per default, doesn't see your drive.

Best regards,

I am using BoxCryptor 2.0 with Windows 8.1. When I check "Enable Recycle Bin" I get an error when mounting the drive, saying that I cannot have "Mount for all users" and "Mount in Windows Mount Manager" enabled at the same time. How can I enable the Recycle Bin?
