Decrypt filenames for multiple files at once

boxcryptorUser12345

So I previously used filename encryption, but now I don't want to use it at all.

Is there any way to quickly disable the filename encryption for those files? If I right click a single file, there is an option to decrypt the filename. But if I right click multiple files, the option is not available.

What would be the best way to decrypt them?

Hello,

I'm sorry, but Boxcryptor does not yet support selecting multiple files in the context menu. A workaround could be create a new (filename encrypted) folder, move the files to the new folder and disable filename encryption of the folder. This will recursively disable filename encryption for all files and folders within the folder.

Best regards,
Robert

Hello,

Thanks! I ended up doing something similar to what you suggested. I went into the boxcryptor drive so that the filenames aren't encrypted, copied them, then pasted to another folder I created (now that I don't have filename encryption checked). This created copies that aren't filename encrypted, so I just deleted the old ones and kept the new ones.

I did see the option in the folder to recursively decrypt. Didn't see it initially at first since it seems if at least 1 file in the folder is decrypted already, then the option turns into "enable file name encrypt" on the folder level, even though most of the file names are encrypted already.
