folderkey file

user first time

Dear Sir/Madam:
I'm a new user of Boxcryptor.
Fist time I encrypted a folder, there are new files "FolderKey.bch" generated under the folder (including all sub folers) although I do not choose to export key file.
Can I delete those"FolderKey.bch" files? Will others get open to my encrypted file if they get those FolderKey.bch?
Thx.

Hi Eric,

our CTO Robert posted a great summary of what the FolderKey.bch is and what it does some time ago:
