Hello,

I tested BoxCryptor on my Mac because I faced issues with Boxcryptor classic on my Mac (I have an unlimited Business License)

First, it took about 20 hours to re-encrypt all my files (a little more than 6 Gb) !!!

Then, it looks like I am not able to access my files when I am offline (I am using a laptop and I am often offline)

Finally (and most annoying point), when I try to attach a file from my encrypted SkyDrive folder from my Lotus Notes client or attach a file into Evernote, it may take from 30 sec to 2 min to browse the tree structure.

Is the product supposed to work ? Has this issue been reported ?

Regards,

Jean-Marc

I just started using the non beta release and without touching a thing boxcrypt eats up nearly 6gb of ram and 40-60% of my CPU. Basically, it's not working at all. I can't have boxcrypt open if I want to use my computer. I bought the service since I thought it would work, but clearly there is a major issue.

Files not showing up on the boxcryptor side of dropbox:

uploaded to dropbox-boxcryptor folder though boxcryptor but files are not showing up in the dropbox-boxcryptor folder. You can see them encrypted thru dropbox but they are not there in the boxcryptor folder. I am on OSX 10.9.1 with iMac 12,1. Anyone else seeing this problem?

Forget it I found what I was doing wrong. Stupid me lol I uploaded them to my Google drive not dropbox, they have the same folder name where I put them. No sure why on the dropbox side you could see them encrypted but ok.

Hello guys,

thanks a lot for your feedback and sorry for the delay in answering, most of us were not in the office for the past few weeks.

There is a new version of Boxcryptor available, which fixes lots of issues, including some memory consumption improvements, i would recommend to give it a try and see if the things are improved for you.

@ JeanMarc,
20 hours sounds a little bit too much for only 6GB of files. We are looking into what can cause this for you. Btw, are you importing manually or using the provided Importer functionality (Boxcryptor Preferences > Advanced tab)?

Best regards,
Adrian.

Hi
Did you fix the spotlight problem, mentioned here:

Hi All,

just tried your new 2.1 beta for Mac. OS X 10.9.4. Dropbox and OneDrive volumes are connected and used with BC. Reboot of Mac didn't solve anything.
Boxcryptor_v2.1.201.63_Installer
Unfortunately I'm not able to enable Spotlight - an error msg is shown.

Any hint?

Hi,

we already released a new beta (2.1.201.66), where Spotlight should work properly.

Looks like spotlight is still not working in the latest build 2.201 (66) on OS X Yosemite (14A314h). If try it, I first get the message that a remount is required. If I click yes, I get "Enabling spotlight failed"

Just updated to 2.201 (68). Same symptoms.

After upgrading to 2.1.201 Spotlight runs fine. Thank you.

With Boxcryptor 2.1.201 (68), OS X 10.10 DP6 and Excel 2011 14.4.3 (140616), I'm encountering an issue when saving Excel files. The symptoms are identical to https://boxcryptor.desk.com/customer/portal/questions/916313-editing-excel-file-in-bc-folder-corrupts-file. Spotlight and Trash are enabled on the Boxcryptor volume, and Boxcryptor is configured to be the first app to open on login. All subsequent apps are launched with a delay via a script.

I'm also using the latest beta of Boxcryptor Classic, and the issue occurs with that as well (posted on another thread).

After upgrading from BC 2.0.411 to 2.1.201.xx (66 and 68) I'm not able anymore to activate the Boxcryptor Volume.

In der aktuellen Beta kann ich die Dropbox-Location nicht mehr entfernen. Ich will die aber nicht, da ich nur einen Orderordner der Dropbox verschlüsseln will weil ich

nicht bei jedem Order gefragt werden will ob ich den verschlüsseln will
(wichtiger) ich meinen aktuellen Pfad behalten will (/Volumes/Boxcryptor/<meinFolder> und nicht /Volumes/Boxcryptor/Dropbox/<meinFolder>). Es gibt genügend Programme, die sich den Pfad merken - auch wenn ich eigentlich mit Aliasen drauf arbeite

Irgendwelche News dazu?
Jetzt ist 2.1 verfügbar - aber immer noch mit diesem für mich K.O. Kriterium...
