What happens when my PC set up with Boxcrytor dies?

xradman

I just downloaded the free version and have set it up with Google Drive. It does everything I am looking for to protect my sensitive data. But I noticed that the free license is tied to my current PC. What happens when my PC dies. Can I reset up BoxCryptor on my new PC and sign on with my existing username and password and reaccess my encrypted files on my Google Drive?

Thanks in advance.

Anyone know? I suppose I could try to find out by installing Boxcryptor on another computer, but license seem limited to 1 PC an 1 Phone for the free version. Does anyone know if that is enforced?

Hi,

When using a Boxcryptor account, you can simply install Boxcryptor on the computer, sign in with your credentials and then access your encrypted files again. All necessary information is stored (securely) within your Boxcryptor account.

If you did not sign out on the old computer, you can unlink your old device via our web interface so that you can sign in on the new computer:
