Migrate from Boxcryptor Classic to Latest Version of Boxcryptor on MacOS High Sierra

sprad

I'd like to migrate from Boxcryptor Classic to the latest version of Boxcryptor 2. I recently upgraded my Mac OS to High Sierra (10.13.1) and now my Boxcryptor Classic drive won't mount.

I've tried to download the "read-only" version of Boxcryptor Classic here: https://www.boxcryptor.com/de/help/faq-and-troubleshooting/macos/#download-boxcryptor-classic but I get the following error when trying to mount my Boxcryptor Classic drive:

"Installed version of MacOS unsupported - The installed version of BCCFS is too old for the operating system. Please upgrade your BCCFS installation to one that is compatible with the currently running version of macOS."

How can I decrypt and migrate my files to the latest version of Boxcryptor 2?

Same here, not able to mount BoxCryptor Classic drive under High Sierra, not even read-only. Kinda urgent since production data suddenly became inaccessible. Any unofficial successor to Classic v1.5.417 that fixes the issue under High Sierra?

Same here,

I received the following message after trying to open an old encrypted folder:
"Boxcryptor Classic has been discontinued and only supports OS X versions from 10.7 to 10.10. It does not support newer OS X versions and runs in read-only mode at the moment. Please decrypt your data and upgrade to the regular Boxcryptor version which offers compatibility with current and future operating systems.”

I tried to mount using Boxcryptor Classic, however, it doesn’t perform any action, not allowing to decrypt the data.

What should I do to retrieve my data?

Follow my specs:
Boxcryptor Classic Version 1.5.411 (250);
macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 (17B1003);

Hey Guys,

we officially dropped Boxcryptor Classic with the release of Windows 10 and macOS 10.11 "El Capitan".
We then even released unofficial version for you to decrypt your data on these machines up to 10.12. "Sierra".

Now the only option for you would be to move your encrypted data to an older system and decryt these there. I am sorry for the inconvenience - but there won't be another version of Boxcryptor Classic as the development has been ceased long ago.

Thanks for your understanding and good luck with your transition.

Kindest regards,
Richard
