Questions and Answers

Does Boxcryptor use up more storage space on my PC or Mac?

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.

Can I share links with friends and colleagues, even with encryption?

Of course. You can easily share files and folders with other Boxcryptor users. For your friends and colleagues who do not have a Boxcryptor account, we created Whisply to help you share files securely.

Can I encrypt Google Docs files with Boxcryptor?

For technical reasons it is not possible to encrypt documents in Google Docs. Boxcryptor works with local files and Google Docs documents are not available locally.
