No local accounts anymore!?

darth

Changelog for version 2.51 says:

Removed: Creation of new local accounts. Existing local accounts including key exports are not affected by this change.

why that? And what are the implications??

IMHO removing this option is not conforming with privacy claim of your product.

darth Thank you for your feedback. The vast majority of our customers use Boxcryptor accounts. To provide them with the best possible product, we're further focussing our development resources on Boxcryptor accounts.

Local accounts will continue to play an important part in combination with the key export feature of Boxcryptor accounts. A key export creates a local account as a backup in case our service would be interrupted for a long time or completely shut down.

Best regards,
Robert
