Boxcryptor and Box.net on iOS app

astamblam

Hello,
I'm registered owner of BoxCryptor and I'm using it with SkyDrive, Dropbox and Box.net cloud services, on Windows 7 and iOS.

I've got a question: How can I browse encrypted files on Box.net with iOS app?

Hello,

the update for iOS is in the pipeline but not yet available in the appstore. It will support Box.net.

Best regards,
David

Hi, would you have any update on when the IOS version will support box.net? Beside that, is there any plan in general to bring box.net and boxcryptor closer together e.g. using the standard way of creating bc containers instead of this very manual mode? Many thanks for an update!

P.S.: in my view, box.net is leading the gang together with dropbox

Hello Mitch,

Both iOS apps, Boxcryptor as well as Boxcryptor Classic, support Box.net by now.

The very manual mode is only required for Boxcryptor Classic and Box.net due to restrictions by Box.net (e.g. non-synching of dot-files). The (new) Boxcryptor supports Box.net without any problems.

So...if I'm on a Mac, which means I'm currently (10/1/13) limited to Boxcryptor Classic, then I would experience trouble with box.net? Because I can't get box.net (online) to recognize the contents of the Boxcryptor folder at all.

Hello larcenous,

we have a workaround for Box.net and Boxcryptor Classic on Mac.

Thanks, Gustav! I will try this out. I have to admit, though: this looks like quite a kludgy workaround. I notice above, Robert says that the new Boxcryptor syncs with Box.net without any problems. Unfortunately, I also notice that it's not currently available for Mac. When will the new (non-Classic) Boxcryptor be available for Mac, and will it, too, "sync with box.net without any problems?"

Hi,

Yes, the "new" Boxcryptor syncs with box.net without any problems. We plan a first beta for Mac OS X until the end of this month (if everything works well) and a final release approximately one month later.

Best regards,
Robert
