![]() Even if $50 is no big deal to you, the option for monthly payment should be present, as should a refund policy. It may be more feasible to pay NordLocker’s $8 per month, although Boxcryptor’s $48 per year is a better deal. Then your account will be downgraded to a free plan.Īlthough Boxcryptor is technically cheaper than an encryption service such as NordLocker, the math gets messy. The product page makes clear that “there is no limited cancelation period.” If you purchase a plan and decide Boxcryptor isn’t for you, your license will continue until the renewal date. That said, Whisply is available if you want it. Considering the free Boxcryptor plan allows anyone to decrypt any amount of data, that’s probably the better option. Currently, it’s limited to 1GB, no matter how many files you have. You can either just send the link, send the link plus a four-digit PIN or send the link plus a custom password. Premium subscribers will be able to set sharing options, such as a one-time download and link expiration, and anyone can set multiple layers of protection. In your Boxcryptor folder, all you need to do is right-click the file or folder you want to share and generate a link. ![]() Whisply supports sending files through OneDrive, Dropbox and Google Drive, though more support will be added in the future.Ĭreating a Whisply link is simple. Whisply is a service that offers end-to-end encryption and allows you to share those files with non-Boxcryptor users. The company behind Boxcryptor, Secomba GmbH, developed Whisply to help Boxcryptor users share files. ![]() Boxcryptor will do the background work, gathering your encrypted files from the cloud. All you need to remember is your username and password. This app doesn’t require an installation, so you can take it to any Windows, macOS or Linux machine and access your encrypted files. Furthermore, all of the cloud storage services that are supported on the desktop application work with mobile, too, meaning you can take your encrypted documents on the go.Īdditionally, Boxcryptor offers a portable application. You can view, edit and encrypt files on your Android or iOS device. Boxcryptor not only supports these mobile platforms, but provides the full functionality of the desktop application. Although most services support Windows and macOS - and some even Linux, as you can see in our VeraCrypt review - very few work with iOS and Android. One of Boxcryptor’s greatest features is that it offers mobile applications. For example, if you add a file to a folder that’s already encrypted and set to be shared with a collaborator, the new file will automatically be encrypted and shared. Boxcrytor allows you to set attributes through a folder hierarchy, which applies to encryption and sharing options. That allows you to easily decrypt a single file and edit it without having to decrypt, and thus reencrypt, the entire folder.īecause of this approach, you won’t have to manually encrypt many, if any, files. Instead of encrypting an entire folder, each file within the folder is encrypted separately. With a premium plan, you can add as many locations as you want, allowing you to encrypt network-attached storage, USB drives, entire disks, WebDAV locations and more.Īdditionally, Boxcryptor supports on-the-fly encryption. However, it can also encrypt local files. ![]()
