Boxcryptor Classic Version 1.4.403 (24) on OS X 10.10 (Yosemite)

ThunderRoad

Hi folks!

I upgraded to OS X 10.10 (Yosemite, official release version, no beta or GM) a few days ago coming from OS X Mavericks.
I am currently running Boxcryptor Classic Version 1.4.403 (24). I updated it together with Yosemite.
My Boxcryptor folder is located within Dropbox.
While I can still easily access all my encrypted data, once I mount the folder, it does no longer show a Boxcryptor drive in the Finder sidebar under Devices. The drive, however, shows up in the folder /volumes or on the desktop (as soon as I check "create desktop alias"). I tried with and without OSXfuse. I just can't seem to get it to work.
It is just a minor bug, since I can still access all of my data, but it was really useful to have the folder shown as a drive in the Finder sidebar.
Is there any workaround?

I found a thread in the forum, where this bug was mentioned, but no solution.
At the moment I cannot see this thread anymore, otherwise I would have linked it.

I'd be thankful for any advice.

Best regards

OK, I just solved the problem myself.

For anyone interested: in the Boxcryptor settings, you'll have to activate advanced settings (I don't know exactly the English designation, since I am using the German version of the program). The drive will show up in a pane beneath the regular options. You'll have to right-click it and open the advanced options for the drive, then you'll have to check the third box from the top (mount drive locally, in German: "Lokal einbinden"). This will do the trick and the virtual drive will show up in the Finder sidebar, once it is mounted.
I remembered that I checked this box a long time ago and then forgot about it. Somwhere in the upgrade process it must have become unchecked, thus the problems arose.
The virtual drive can be mounted even without OSXfuse installed. At least, I don't have it installed on my computer any longer.

And for the sake of completeness: seems like OSXfuse is no longer necessary in the current version of Boxcryptor Classic for the Mac.
The current version that also runs under OS X 10.10 can be downloaded here, when you scroll to the bottom of the page:

Hi,

It is currently a known issue that the Boxcryptor disk is not listed in the Finder sidebar in OS X 10.10 Yosemite anymore (unless mounted as local) due to internal changes in Yosemite. It is on our todo-list and we'll try to bring the Boxcryptor disk to the Finder sidebar as soon as possible. You can access the Boxcryptor disk via various other ways until then:

- Boxcryptor menu bar item -> Open
- In Finder go to "/Volumes"
- In Finder sidebar "USER's MacBook" -> Boxcryptor
- On the desktop if alias creation is active

Best regards,
Robert

PS: Yes, OSXFUSE is not required in the latest versions of Boxcryptor and Boxcryptor Classic anymore.
