Filename encryption not working

tbradnc

Running OS X Mavericks 10.9.1

Upgraded license to have access to filename encryption. The upgrade process went smoothly and once BC was upgraded the filename encryption switch became available in Preferences.

With switch "ON" filenames are still not encrypted however files themselves are.

Any suggestions on how to get filename encryption working.

Just browsing the forum, I'm wondering if it is such a good idea to use it anyway - seems to be some problems with it.

Hi,

the filename encryption does not affect already encrypted files. You have to re-encrypt the files.

Hi. How do I "re-encrypt" files?

Some of my files now have obfuscated file names, others don't.

Thank you

Hi,

You can "re-encrypt" already existing encrypted files / folders simply by duplicating them in the Boxcryptor drive. This can be achieved by using "Copy & paste" of the encrypted files / folders. The copy process will create new files / folders which will be newly encrypted (and the changed filename enryption setting will be applied).

Best regards,
Robert
