Decrypting "Filename Encryption"

patchman

Hello All,
I have been using Unlimited free 7 day trial, and have been trying the "Filename Encryption" Feature. So far I like it, wish you could select files/folder to encrypt. But this all or nothing is still fine . Maybe I can turn off feature , encrypt folders, then turn on feature before encrypting file that I need filenames encrypted. That might work.
Anyways,

My question is, If I ever need to go back to free version, will the free version still be able to decrypt my Encrypted filenames that were encrypted with the "Unlimited version" ?
Or do I need to decrypt them before "downgrading" to free version"?

Thank you for your time.

Thanks everyone,
but, I guess since my free trial ends tomorrow, I will find out the answer for myself then.,.

Take care,
Patchman

Hi patchman,

In general you can always decrypt any encrypted file with the free Boxcryptor account - whether the encrypted file was created with a free or Unlimited account. When you downgrade from Unlimited to free (because your subscription or trial ended), the Unlimited features are just not available anymore for new files. E.g. you can continue to access your already existing file with filename encryption (and decrypt their filenames) but if you create a new file its filename won't be encrypted.

Best regards,
Robert
