Boxcryptor v2 on android with local account

notna

I'm using Boxcrypor v2.041 for windows with my dropbox for quit some time and like it a lot.
I want to use it on my Samsung Galaxy Tab4, but I cannot create the local account. I did login and can see my Dropbox, but then I have no acces to my encrypted folder.
What did I do wrong???

Hello notna

please make sure to use the same account on Windows and on Android. If you use a Boxcryptor Account just use the same credentials. If you use a Local Account you have to synchronize your .bckey file by yourself. After you copied the .bckey file on your Android device you can select it and enter your password. Now you should be able to access your encrypted folder created on Windows.

Best regards

Boris,

I have copied my .bckey file to :
android/data/com.boxcryptor2.android.
Where can I select it to enter my password????

Hello Tia

on the login screen you can see three little dots on the bottom right. Here you can select "local account". Follow the instructions on the screen. Especially set the checkbox that you already have a key file. Now browse to the directory where you have stored the keyfile and select it. After that you just have to enter your password.

Best regards

Boris,

Tanks a lot, I had the keyboard over the bottom and therefore could not see the 3 dots.
It works great.

best regards

This old method isn't working in 2021 (Boxcryptor for Android v2.108.1021), sharing key file with boxcryptor opening dialog Box containing "Sign-in required". Please give some solution, guide me for using the same way as before (in fully offline mode) (like before introduction of new key file workflow thing).🙂
