Boxcryptor 2 on IOS vs. Android "Send to Boxcryptor"

tliesner

Hi all,

i am currently testing Boxcryptor 2 with box.com storage and IOS (and MacOS) and with google drive storage on Android. Unfortunately i am a little disappointed with the features the IOS-app offers.
On Android nearly every app offers a feature like "send file to boxcryptor". On IOS all i can to is save email attachments to boxcryptor or pictures from within boxcryptor app onto my cloud storage.

Another annoying thing is that i have to put the files into a strangely behaving "dav" folder on IOS using the which i don't see on android (neither on Mac OS and Windows). Files i put "above" (root folder) this folder never appear in the storage (no error message).Files i put into that "dav" folder sync well, but appear within this folder AND above this folder (all on IOS).

Can anyone enlighten me wether this all is a bug or a feature?

TIA,
Tom

Hi Tom,

Also on iOS you can send files to the Boxcryptor app by using the "Open in..." feature which many other apps support. Please refer to the documentations of other apps how to use the "Open in..." feature if they have one.

While we have natively integrated the Box.com API on Android, we're using the generic WebDAV protocol to connect to your Box.com storage on iOS. The folder structure ("dav" folder) is provided by Box.com and nothing we can change. Of course, we will integrate the Box.com API as soon as possible to provide a better experience as soon as possible.

Best regards,
Robert
