Ratings and Reviews
Works OK but UI/UX needs an update
I have been using Boxcryptor since 2014. First with Dropbox, and now OneDrive (since they give me 1TB with Office365).
Boxcryptor is fairly unique and this mobile app has saved me on several occasions when I’ve needed to access my passport, driving license and other important documents when I was least expecting to need them.
Having said that, this app looks like it is still stuck in 2014 when I first subscribed. The desktop app UI is not much better.
Competition in the space is finally heating up with alternatives from companies like Nordlocker. Nordlocker doesn’t have a mobile app, and is very restrictive in terms of how much data you can store on the cloud on the premium plan.
However, I expect this space to evolve quite rapidly over the next few years and I look forward to better designed alternatives to Boxcryptor.
No Package File Support
Sadly this iOS version of Boxcryptor is rendered useless for me as it cannot handle macOS/iOS package (bundle) files, instead seeing them as normal folders and drilling down inside. This file type is widespread within the world of Apple and with Boxcryptor unable to read/write this format correctly on iOS, I lose the ability to work with many of my encrypted files while on the move with just an iPad/iPhone.
Good service but “files” integration has killed the app
Used to be a reasonable app, but recently you can only access your files through the iOS Files app. This sadly is really unreliable (the integration, not the Files app) and whilst it did work for a few days, the latest update has now left me unable to access any files on my device. The old version where the files are accessed through the Boxcryptor app was a lot better
Developer Response ,
We are sorry to hear about your inconveniences with our new iOS app. If you aren’t running the latest version (3.08) yet, we recommend a manual update and a device restart. Should your problems persist, we emphasize a fresh install. In any case, please feel free to contact our support team (support@boxcryptor.com) if your issues can’t be fixed with the proposed steps. They are happy to assist you. /jj
