Local Account access not possible after upgrade?

Localuser

Hello.

I have been using local account on my device. Since I have installed the latest boxcryptor app on a new android mobile, once opened, it only provides two options. Either sign in or create an account. In the past I was able to access a local account without creating/signing in to a cloud based account.

Has that local account access feature intentionally removed?

How do I access my local account on Android mobile without creating a cloud based account?

Thank you.

Update: so to open an existing local account/file is by following instructions at https://support.boxcryptor.com/en/help/boxcryptor-account/ios/#local-account

I.e:
How to Open an Existing Key File
Send the key file to your device, for example via email or AirDrop.
Select the key file and send it to the Boxcryptor app.
Enter your password to sign in to Boxcryptor.

However for some strange reason android does not recognise "bckey" extension served by boxcryptor app when bckey file is downloaded to the internal storage on my android mobile device. However seems to recognise .bckey with Boxcryptor app when you click on it when it's not in the internal storage of your android mobile device (I.e. in a different app).

Hello.
I have no issues here, even when the exported key is on an external device (like a USB pen).
However, you must "share" the key, then select Boxcryptor, you just can't open the key.[

Afterwards, you can enter the password for the key.

This did not work for me when changing the Android device and trying to set it up again. Looks like there is an issue with newer Boxcryptor Android versions (and I don't expect it to be fixed, of course). I could only get this to work by finding an older version (2.101.875 via Aptoide store), then it still worked.
