Mobile Upload Encrypted?

geneaber

I am not permitted to download boxcryptor on my work PC. However, I have pdf files I have received via email that I want to upload to Boxcryptor. If I do this from the boxcryptor ios app, is the upload encrypted? I obviously wouldn't do this at a public wifi hotspot, but only from my home wifi.

Any input is appreciated.

Hi,

Yes, if you upload a file with the BoxCryptor for iOS app, the file is encrypted and then uploaded to your storage provider. You could even do this from a public wifi hotspot as the BoxCryptor app uploads and downloads only encrypted files.

Ok I have the same question, but for both the BoxCryptor Classic and 2.0

For instance if I stay at a hotel which offers a wifi service. Do I worry about working on files within my bc folder/dropbox while connected to such wifi?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hello,

You don't have to worry for BC Classic or 2.0 because our apps always* use SSL secured HTTPS connections to transfer files from and to your cloud storage provider.

* requires a cloud storage provider to offer HTTPS support (which actually all the big known ones like Dropbox, Box, etc. do)
