How to decrypt files in local NAS? (Outside manage locations)

MJ50

Hello, I'm a Boxcryptor free account user. I mainly use Boxcryptor to encrypt important files in Dropbox. Years ago, to free up space in Dropbox, I moved many old files/folders from Dropbox to local NAS. Only small percentage are encrypted in NAS and since they are old files, I didn't bother to access them until now. Frequently used encrypted files still remain in Dropbox. Now, since I don't really need old important files in NAS to be encrypted, I wanted to decrypt all files in NAS, but it prompted I can't do that because NAS folder is not part of its managed locations. Then, I tried to copy files back to Dropbox, but it prompted that I can't move encrypted file back to Boxcryptor folder. Please advise best method to decrypt my files in NAS. Do I have to go with Premium for a month, add NAS drive to "Manage Locations", decrypt all files in NAS? TIA!

The easiest method is to add the share/folder from your NAS as a custom location in Boxcryptor.
Then, you can access the files directly and don't have to copy them to Dropbox.
This can also be done with the FREE Boxcrxptor version.
Just disable your used location, then you have about 10-15 seconds to add the NAS share/folder.

Another possibility: If you're using a Synology/QNAP NAS, you can use their "Cloud Sync" apps to sync your cloud (if one of the supported by the NAS) with your cloud.
Doing so, you need just the NAS as the single locationin Boxcryptor and you have access to your files.
