If you are already signed in with your Boxcryptor account on a device, you are always able to access your encrypted files regardless of your internet connection or availability of our servers. As outlined in our Technical Overview (chapter Why and when Boxcryptor requires an internet connection ), only the following actions require an active connection to our servers: Boxcryptor has been designed in such a manner, that access to our servers is not required for the regular usage of our client software. We do our best to provide a high availability of our service, but during these two hours access to our servers might be degraded and/or even unavailable.

Tasks which might have an impact on the availability of our service will be conducted in weekly maintenance windows at the following time:Įvery Monday, 00:00 - 02:00 UTC+1 (4pm - 6pm UTC-7) Seriously, if you are a CIO, could you advise your people to upload encrypted data - and the passwords - to a server or service - not under your control? If you would answer this rhetorical question with "Yes" - then beg my pardon - but I do not want to work with you and your corporation anymore.Īs the link to the (still security patched and updated!) BoxCryptor Classic is a bit hidden under the new and shiny BoxCrytor 2.0 stuff.In order to constantly improve our service and to keep our servers up-to-date, we regularly maintain our infrastructure.

These are all reasons why I would recommend using BoxCryptor Classic for your cloud files security - but discourage the use of the new BoxCryptor 2.0 - even without using the "Save-my-Keys-to-the-Cloud" function - because in my opinion, it is just a devolution of an excellent tool.Īnd one last word to the "Share Secure Online Function": If you really would like to share a file securely via the net: Send a TrueCrypt drive or host your own local server.

Well, that was another feature that did work on the classic free version - but not anymore. You can, however, disagree with that and use it like in classic mode - BUT the new BoxCryptor seems to be incompatible with EncFS, and - even better: You cannot use new BoxCryptor on more than 2 Devices - you have to pay for more. You upload the keys to your files, bound to your Secomba Account to their servers, if you choose to use the new mode. And by doing that, they had to introduce a new feature: Centralized Storage of your BoxCryptor Keys. Secomba did create BoxCryptor a new, labelling the "old" Version BoxCryptor Classic, creating the new one with corporations and secure file sharing, i.e. Well I should explain why I distrust Secomba, the corporation which earned Awards from Golem, heise, Forbes, c't and so on and on: Secomba, as every corporation tries to make a living from their software, and that is absolutly fine with me. Or use the new BoxCryptor without the cool features. Use the old, deprecated BoxCryptor CLASSIC stuff. All in all: I would recommend these tools and am using them on a daily base.

The Apps, developed for iPhone, Android and the Chrome Browser did work perfectly.

And that was really good, as you could just use the BoxCryptor files in Unix via the means of EncFS. Secomba was not reinventing the wheel at that time, they were just using EncFS, already known in the Unix World. Really nasty.īut then, Secomba came up with their product: BoxCryptor. A neat little piece of software, mounting an "Cloud Folder" as local harddrive and enc- and decrypting files on the fly, while you are accessing these files via the mentioned local mount. And occasionally, somehow the TrueCrypt drive would be uploaded as copy a second time to the Dropbox. But that did come at a cost: Loss of usability: You just cannot open a file on your Android Smartphone on the fly. Others did think about those problems and tried to secure their important files via means as encryption like TrueCrypt. Some of those did not think about data security - and just dropped everything into the cloud: From bank data to keys and passwords and such. Many people use services like Dropbox, Google Drive, Box and similar on a daily routine. USB Sticks, DVD, CD-Rom, Harddisks - are a thing of the past.
