Parsing Error

woodstock

Hi,
Using my Android Boxcryptor App, I get a Parsing Error when
I try to open a KeePass file.

- Boxcryptor Classic
- Every other file will be opened!
- Android 6.0.1
- Worked fine for couple of month
- De-Install and Re-Install of BC App: done
- De-Install and Re-Install of KeePass App: done
- Using the same BC and KeePass Android App on my tablet,
no problems with opening KeePass file

Any idea?

Thanks,
woodstock

I have the same problem.

If I export the file onto my phone, I can open it with KeePass no problem.

This only happens on Android for me.

Hi woodstock, hi 1rafayal,

Thanks for reporting. We are aware of this issue and are currently working on a fix for it for Boxcryptor 2.x
There is even a workaround, you can open up the Keepass app directly and then browse the database file directly using the Boxcryptor entry on the left side.

Kind regards,
Florian

Hi Florian,

not really a workaround. I can't open the database via Keepass2Android,
because I can't access the decrypted bc container using Keepass2Android.
Ok, maybe thats not *your* problem.
I think the only workaround - unless you release a fix (we are talking
about BC Classic) - is what mentioned 1rafayal before.
:-(

Hi Florian,

As mentioned, this isn't a work around. Right now I am forced to download an unencrypted version if the database to my device in order to open it. Naturally this is counter intuitive.

Do you have a time line for releasing a fix for this issue?

This error did not result in a mere inconvenience of needing to download my keepass file and open locally. Ultimately I was locked out of my account. The android app failed to recognize my boxcryptor password, then the same happened with web access and the boxcryptor application on my windows machine.

AT THIS POINT I HAVE COMPLETELY LOST ACCESS TO ALL OF MY ENCRYPTED FILES

I created a new account just so that I could login and warn other users as well as make the Boxcryptor team aware of the severity of this problem.

For me, I'm leaving Boxcryptor, cancelling my paid account, and finding an alternative. I can't risk my losing my files on this service again.

Ok...I'm an a**hole. I typed my pw incorrectly.

Who loves admitting stupid mistakes publicly??? I know I do :)
