BoxCryptor Classic 1.7.409.131: Can't read from the source file or disk

neilc

I just realized that I was unable to decrypt files from my BoxCryptor Classic drive. I was able to upload files there fine, and I can access them with my Android app and the Microsoft Store app, but the drive mapping using the client doesn't allow me to open the files anymore. If I try to copy the file to an unencrypted folder, I get "Can't read from the source file or disk".

This is very frustrating. I have thousands of files in there - if I need to download them individually, it's going to take a very long time. At this stage, I'll probably move off of BoxCryptor Classic, but where I go may vary depending on how much work it takes to get these files back.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Neil

Did a bit more searching on this, apparently this post talks about it:

I copied the BoxBryptor.bc folder from my OneDrive to my local hard drive, and was able to mount the drive, and subsequently moved all the files to an unencrypted folder on my computer.

Crisis averted.
