Hi, Look like the latest version of Mac OS X (El Capitan) broke Boxcryptor since application launch correctly but never mount volume correctly. Any plan to fix soon ? Best, Alan

Hello Alan, I'm sorry, but we will not add support for Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) in Boxcryptor Classic. Please upgrade to Boxcryptor if you also want to upgrade to El Capitan. Best regards, Robert

Hi Robert, Thanks for your reply. I would like to know : 1. I don't want to create an account on your web site does the boxcryptor works with encrypted filename in this case (look like it is local mode on the new version) ? 2. I have several volume on BC classic with different password and location, does it possible with boxcryptor ? 3. How to transfert volume from BC Classic to boxcryptor (just copy /move)? 4. BC Classic offer support of encrypted volume on removable drive (by placing and reference volume for this place). Does this is possible with boxcryptor ? 5. Why do you stop support of BC Classic ? Best regards Alan

Hello Alan, Regarding your questions: 1. You can use Boxcryptor with a local account - in this case, all data is stored in a key file on your computer and no connection to our servers is required. And yes, a local account can also be upgraded to Unlimited Personal or Business in order to use filename encryption. 2. You can only have one Boxcryptor drive and being logged in with one account at a time. Within the Boxcryptor drive you can define various different locations (what would be multiple volumes in BC Classic). 3. Easiest way would be to have both applications running and simply copy the files from the Boxcryptor Classic drive to the Boxcryptor drive. 4. Boxcryptor auto-detects removable drives and automatically adds them as a location in the Boxcryptor drive. 5. Boxcryptor Classic has simply reached it's "end of life". With the release of Boxcryptor 2.0 ~2 years ago, we decided to focus our efforts on Boxcryptor 2.0 and keep our 1.x versions available as Boxcryptor Classic. We also announced that we would support Boxcryptor Classic to keep it up and running but we would not add any new features (like support for new operating systems). Best regards, Robert

Dear robert, Thanks for your quick reply ! 1. I have test the chrome extension with a local account and try to used it from my Dropbox. Detection have been done properly but I can't connect with my local account (Each time I get message: Access Forbiden - Try Again). I'm presume that the Chrome extension works only in "Server Mode". I can't used your server mode for security reason and it is important for me to can access from browser (that I can do with BC Classic today without any problems). 2. Could you please confirm that there is only ONE password for all encrypted information. On BC Classic, we can have a different account for each volume, witch is very convenient and can increase security (but not having same password for all). 3. Does the Android / iOS can browse a Dropbox or does the limitation that apply in my point 1 is the same ? 4. If I add a user (who have a registered server account) to a local account crypted file and send the file and FolderKey.bch to this user could he can decrypt file ? 5. I'm using PathFinder (with is a great replacement for the Finder). Do you plan to present the content of the Finder menu as service so it can be used without having to go to Finder for the BC operations ? Best regards, Alan

Hi Robert, Having find response to :1 and 3, so only need answer for 2 and 5 please. I'm really hope that I can have different password question 2, so ...??? Best regards, Alan

Hi Alan, Regarding your open questions: 2) One local account only has one key file and one password. If you need to use different passwords, you'd have to create multiple local accounts and use multiple key files - which could become messy and confusing so I would recommend against using multiple accounts. 4) Managing permissions (e.g. granting another user access to an encrypted file) is not possible with a local account because of the missing automatic public key distribution (and manual distribution is not an option due to the horrible user experience for the average user). 5) Please see this thread for information how to have the Boxcryptor services in PathFinder: https://forums.boxcryptor.com/topic/creating-a-boxcryptor-service-for-pathfinder-7-on-os-x-yosemite Best regards, Robert

Hi Robert, Thanks for the reply. I hope that you will consider on future to can manage different passwords. On business this can be very important to have a global share with all documents and special parts accessible only to specific user ... this without having to used your "centralized password" system. Thanks, Alan

Hi Robert - I think it is very sad that you don't support the classic version on el Capitan. I don't like to encrypt the whole dropbox so how can I encrypt only a certain folder in dropbox? Thanks Pirmin

Hi PFGisler, you don't need to encrypt your whole DropBox with Boxcryptor. It's possible to select certain folders for encryption. Please have a look at this short scenario: 1. Set DropBox as a Boxcryptor Location (automatically set when DropBox is installed) 2. Open your Boxcryptor Drive 3. Navigate to the folder you want to encrypt (in the Boxcryptor Drive) 4. Right-click the folder and select the option to encrypt the folder This way you only encrypt one certain folder with all its contents. Kind regards, Richard

Hello Boxcryptor Team, That's very sad news you will no longer support Boxcryptor Classic in El Capitan. It is even worse information for myself - I have more than 200GB in a cloud encrypted with Boxcryptor Classic. But there is also bright side - you made me investigate how EncFS is supported by OS X and it seems it's not so bad! You just need MacPorts :) Bye, bye Boxcryptor Classic

Taavi, thanks! Wow, I should have thought of that sooner, quite obvious. I'm waiting on Cryptomator to move over to their new file system & then I'll finally say the sad goodbye to boxcryptor I wish they would bring back their great encryption capability from the classic version.

Quick update for those who may (still) be interested. I have been running for one year on Yosemite (restored from backup after update to El Capitan that broke BCC) so I can still use BoxCryptor Classic version 1.4.

The other day I finally bit the bullet and decided to install encFS and I am happy to say that it works like on charm on my existing BoxCryptor Classic volume. Response time is as good as with BCC and I have one of my two Macs now running OS-X Sierra with no issues.

Who needs BoxCryptor and their total disregard for their customer base when you can use encFS? :)

I have MacOS Sierra and can no longer mount encrypted volumes. Apparently there was an "unofficial" BoxCryptor Classic version (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1738091/Boxcryptor_Classic_v1.5.417.253_Installer.dmg) that can open volumes in read only mode. Is this still available?

Florian

hi philogilvie ,
Sorry for the late response!
Here is a working link to the unofficial version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6e4p6ooezh01zb9/Boxcryptor_Classic_v1.5.417.253_Installer.dmg?dl=0
