Cannot open Google Slides file thru Google Drive

rpellerin@valetude.com

I encrypted a folder on my Google Drive. If I use Windows Explorer I can find the file and double click and it brings up the Google Slides application in Chrome just fine. But if I try to access the Google Slides file directly thru my browser going to "Drive", I cannot open any files. They are there and look like Google docs files, but clicking on them does not work, they are not being recognized as Google Slides files. I just tried with a Google Sheets file with the same result.

I do have the Chrome extension installed properly.

Hi Robert,
Google drive "online" files cannot be encrypted with Boxcryptor. This is due to the nature of these files, they are actually no physical files which is a requirement for Boxcryptor to be able to handle them. Usually you will see an error message when trying to encrypt a "online" file, I just confirmed that this message doesn't pop up with "*.gslides" files. This will be updated in one of the next Boxcryptor releases.

In the meantime, you might just decrypt the affected slide file, this should restore the link in your browser view.

Kind regards,
Florian
