(Pre-)view encrypted files on Chrome Browser

felmundo

Hi,

I started trying out Boxcryptor just a few days ago. Everything seems to work fine on my different devices so far. However, there is one thing I am missing at this point:

There seems to be no way to (pre-)view my encrypted files on Google Drive in a browser, preferably Chrome. So, if I am trying to access my files on a different PC, there seems to no way to do so, as I would have to download each single file first, install boxcryptor and only than be able to view my file.

Is there a workaround available? I tried the Google Chrome Boxcryptor extension, but so far it doesn't seem to be working, actually there is absolutely no change by using this extension on Chrome (to access files on Google Drive).

Thank you for your help

Robert

PS: Even if the computer running the browser might be connected to a fast internet connection, having to download and decrypt every photo while browsing the folder still might cause severe performance issues.
