Additional Security for Your Dropbox

Dropbox makes it very easy to back-up, share and sync files with other Dropbox users across computers, smartphones, and tablets. But to make sure that all your data at Dropbox is completely under your control, Boxcryptor adds an additional security layer. With this client-side zero knowledge encryption your data is protected in the best way possible.

Seamless Integration

On Windows and macOS Boxcryptor creates a virtual drive, detects Dropbox and adds it to the Boxcryptor drive. After that you can easily encrypt your existing data with one click. We recommend to create a new folder, select to encrypt it and then move your sensitive data into that folder. Everything you save to or move into this folder will be encrypted automatically. On the mobile versions, Dropbox is detected automatically as well.

Dropbox Partnership

Dropbox selected Boxcryptor as one of their Premier Technology Partners to provide an additional security layer for you. This close collaboration guarantees handy features, such as user import from your Dropbox user list. The partnership will result in more integrations as Dropbox and Boxcryptor will continuously add new functionalities.

No, Boxcryptor does not use up more or double the space. Some users fear that we store files twice on the machine, encrypted, and unencrypted. This is not the case; the files are only stored once.
