Additional Security for Microsoft SharePoint

SharePoint allows you to access your data no matter where you are. If you want to increase the privacy of your sensitive data in this convenient storage solution, Boxcryptor helps. Since SharePoint does not always store data locally, there are some minor limitations.

Boxcryptor is specialized in cloud storage solutions like OneDrive. You can only encrypt data in SharePoint with Boxcryptor if you have set up a synchronization to the local OneDrive in SharePoint.

Simple Integration of Boxcryptor and SharePoint

When adding SharePoint to Boxcryptor (through the OneDrive Sync Client or the Windows Explorer), Boxcryptor creates a virtual drive. In this virtual drive, you can manage your data — by creating new encrypted folders or encrypting existing data. The encryption happens in the background and you can work with your files as usual.
