Boxcryptor and Chrome Plugin

wussery

Does the current version of Boxcryptor work with the Chrome Plugin v0.3.crx? I was able to manually install the plugin, but when I click on a .bs file that has already been encrypted, I am not given the option to view the file or decrypt it. I am given the option to download or share the file.

Hi,

The currently available version 0.3 of our Chrome Plugin is for Boxcryptor Classic only and not the new Boxcryptor. However, we will release the Chrome Plugin for the new Boxcryptor within the upcoming days.

Best regards,

Hi,
I have waited exactly for such solution. I installed the version 0.3 and it works very well, but not for Word documents..does it ?
When do you implement the docx or even the google docs in this Google Chrome Plugin ?
Thank you so much for you effort in advance.

Boris

Word Documents are already working with the 0.3 version of the Chrome Plugin. They don't have an own previewer. This means you have to download the Word documents on your computer (which should work automatically if you disable all Google Drive preview stuff). Then your documents are automatically decrypted by the plugin.

To encrypt and decrypt Google Docs a complete new solution is needed. So we first have to check some possibilities to provide such a solution.

Hi,

The PDF documents can be downloaded and also the preview works. :-) Perfectly
The word documents cannnot be downloaded. The BoxCrypter Info Box is showed only a short time in the bottom of the Google Browser and then it is closed. The word document is not in the google chrome download folder ? (I use the "docx" format of the word document)

This Google Chrome extension gives me the freedom to access always to all data in google drive without an installation of local PC software.
For Example in my company the Google Drive PC Sync tool is denied, but with the broswer boxcryptor plug-in I can access also to my BoxCryptor data.

Please push this BoxCryptor add-on, it makes sense for many situations.....
and I would pay for it !

Hi bannwada

Thank you for your feedback!

Please make sure to use the Chrome dev channel version. It can be downloaded from here:
http://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel

Now a "Save to" window should be opened after downloading and decrypting a docx file. This window is currently only available in the dev channel version and so you have to use this Chrome version.

Hi Boris,

Thanks again for your answer.
I do not want to use the dev channel Chrome version.
It seems I have to wait until a new plugin version will be distributed.
I hope this will be the case soon.

Hi,
I would like to aks what is the status of this Chrome Plugin ?
Is the latest version sitll the 0.3 ?

- It has some bugs, for example I cannot upload files outside Boxcryptor if the Boxcryptor is connected to the google drive storage.
- I cannot download doc / docx files

Boris

Hi bannwada

The current (Boxcryptor Classic for Chrome) version is 0.3. We are currently fixing some issues of that version which includes removing the requirement of the Chrome dev channel version. So you can also download doc/docx files in the next version.

Uploading files outside a Boxcryptor folder should be possible. Which means if you are inside a Boxcryptor folder your files are encrypted and uploaded. If you are outside a Boxcryptor folder the default Google upload should be started. So could you describe the issue mentioned in detail?

Best regards

Hi,
could you please add support for www.copy.com cloud provider in Boxcryptor Classic for Chrome?

Christian

Hi flanco,

thank you for your suggestion! However, due to the high maintenance expenditure (when the cloud storage provider change something in their website, we have to change the extension), we're currently not planning to add any new providers to the extension. I've added it to our list of suggested additions, though.

Best regards,
Christian
