.encfs6.xml location if not saved

FreedomITA

Hi everyone, what happens to .encfs6.xml file if creating a new encrypted folder in android I don't tick "store password"? How can the app retrieve the xml if its not in the folder where the encrypted files are?
Is it stored somewhere?

Hi,

The .encfs6.xml file is always stored in the BoxCryptor Folder - it contains the actual encryption key which itself is encrypted with your password. "Store/Remember Password" additionally stores your password on the local device so that you do not have to enter it every time you use BoxCryptor.

Please see this thread for more information:
