User Reviews

Boxcryptor is praised for providing strong encryption, easy setup, and cross-platform support for securing cloud storage data. However, multiple reviews criticize the Android app's poor UI, lack of folder sync or offline folder support, frequent upload failures, and crashes when adding local storage. Users also note the high cost of paid subscriptions and limited device support in free plans. While desktop versions are well regarded, the Android app needs improvements for smoother file management and reliable syncing capabilities.

Pros

Strong encryption providing peace of mind for user data security.
Supports multiple cloud storage providers like Google Drive and Dropbox.
Cross-platform availability with desktop and Android app versions.
Easy setup and user-friendly for basic encryption and backup needs.
Reliable encryption that works seamlessly for users with multiple devices.

Cons

Terrible and outdated user interface, making navigation and file preview tedious.
No folder sync or offline folder download capability on Android, only individual file download.
Frequent upload issues such as failed or incomplete uploads, uploading duplicates, and limited simultaneous uploads.
Lack of support for local storage adds and causes app crashes at setup.
High pricing compared to other cloud encryption services and limited features in the free version.

Boxcryptor Personal has given me peace of mind for well over a decade, but they sold out to DropBox who will only offer the encryption in their business subscriptions. Consequently, I have to risk all my data and personal security while I decrypt all my files to a new drive, or lose it all when Boxcryptor locks everything for ever. I have not found anything that provides the level of security, remote access, and price in one simple package. 5 Stars for what they were. ZERO for their future.

Terrible UI. Photos don't load until opened, clicking back takes you to the main directory (so if you are reviewing photos/videos buried under multiple folders it becomes tedious), you can't download files from the preview screen (only "Sharing", which does not include local storage) so you do need to go back to download something once you actually find it because you can't even view the file until it is opened. Using the app is extremely tedious and the search bar is useless.
