will boxcryptor protect my files from network adminstrator?

dkbox

I'm confused as how boxcryptor works. Hoping someone can answer a question for me:

I use dropbox, box.com, google drive, and skydrive. I use these services on 2 home computers, 1 IOS device, and 1 computer at my office that is owned by my employer. I don't want my employer's network adminstrators to be able to snoop into those files. Will boxcryptor prevent them from accessing my files if they were to change my network password and log into my pc as me? I'm using Windows 7 Professional, 64bit, SP1.

Hi dkbox,

your encrypted files are not accessible without Boxcryptor and your password.
Thus, they are not able to access your encrypted files.

Please do not let the system "remember" your password.
Otherwise they would be able to login to your account and access your files.

Of course you shouldn't save your password in a plain-text file on your desktop or within a password manager that remembers the master password.
As you can see it's all about keeping your password safe.

Kind regards,
Richard
