BoxCryptor 2.0+ Command line arguments

chinoka

Does anybody know them? I would like to start a local account without going through all the process of setting up the whole thing over and over. I would like to make a command line where i would only have to type the password for it to work.

I'm using windows 8.1 and iOS 10.

I found this: C:\Program Files (x86)\BoxCryptor\boxcryptor.exe /root C:\Dropbox\BoxCryptor /mountpoint Z: /password password /config C:\.encfs6.xml

But when I try it (with the proper pass and the proper keyfile) nothing happens. it only asks me "Are you sure that you want to decrypt this file or folder into this location" and then opens the Boxcryptor login (to login an online account)
Let me know!

Hi chinoka,

Currently, Boxcryptor 2.x does not have an official Command Line Interface. There has been some development for testing purposes, hence it is not meant for general user interaction.

Kind Regards,

Florian! thanks for your answer!

I would need to know how to login in windows without having to configure local account every time.

Hi chinoka,

If you do not save your password on the login-screen and quit Boxcryptor (without prior signout), the next time Boxcryptor starts your local account will still be set up, you only have to type in your password.
If you sign-out, all user-related settings in Boxcryptor will be deleted and you will have to setup your local account again.

Kind regards,
Florian

This is very counter intuitive. Every other interface signout/logout does not reset all user related settings. Why doe Boxcryptor do this?

The other side effect is that you lose Boxcryptor from the Windows system tray. I would have thought that if you chose start w/ windows option the system tray icon would be persistent. Is there a way to configure it so it is?
