Dear team!
Thank you for the great work you do, and for protecting our privacy! I seem to have posted this underneath a wrong thread previously, so here is me trying to do things right.
By chance, I just switched from MacBook and iPhone to iPad and iPhone, now that the full Boxcryptor Apple files app integration occurred. As of now, I am using the free version of Boxcryptor. I love it!
So far, I shared a single folder with lots of subfolders from my MacBook. I’m using OneDrive. I now stopped doing that, and to be sure that it works after installing everything to my iPad, I deleted Boxcryptor from my iPhone temporary. I now have access to everything, using the new Boxcryptor files app extension on my new iPad.
I logged out of Boxcryptor and OneDrive on my MacBook now and still have access on my iPad, so everything seems to be working from the cloud.
My questions: When I now open documents, how exactly does this work? It’s a local unencrypted version saved on my iPad? If so, for how long? To save space on the iPad, do I need to manually delete files locally at one point? And can I securely do so? And if I make changes to a file, will these be uploaded automatically? What if I open, say, an Excel file, having autosave switched on, will it be automatically uploaded to my secure Boxcryptor space on my OneDrive account?
I know these are kind of questions of principle, but I could not easily find an answer in this forum. I hope someone can quickly answer and clear things up for me.
Thank you so much for what you do!
