BoxCryptor for iOS Secures Dropbox Usage

The long-awaited iOS version of BoxCryptor from Acomba UG (haftungsbeschränkt) is available in the App Store for iPhone and iPad users.



BoxCryptor is now available on all important platforms and does not only allow its users a secure storage of their files in the cloud, but also meets the demands of cloud storage users: cross-platform availability of files - anywhere and anytime.

The advantage of the cloud storage provider Dropbox is the ability to synchronize files across multiple platforms and to access the data via computer, smartphone or tablet. Documents, presentations and pictures are at hand anytime - even on the go. But extra comfort is often connected with loosing security and privacy. Many users have a queasy feeling when storing their data in the cloud - a feeling that is even reinforced by media reports of security breaches at Dropbox.

For those who want to enjoy Dropbox and care about adequate data security, BoxCryptor is the solution. It is optimized for cloud storage and enables a secure storage of files on the Internet. It helps users to store their data in the cloud - without worries about privacy. BoxCryptor for iOS gives users read and write access to files which are encrypted with BoxCryptor. Thereby users maintain the advantage of the cloud - to access, open and upload Dropbox files on the go, without sacrificing data security and comfort.

BoxCryptor for iOS Free is available in the App Store for free for up to 2GB, the unlimited personal version costs $40, the unlimited business version 100$.

BoxCryptor - recommended among others by Lifehacker or Gigaom - allows encrypting entire folders. Encryption is done file-based and on-the-fly using AES-256 standard. Any file stored in the virtual BoxCryptor drive is individually encrypted in real time and stored in the destination folder. This folder - containing now encrypted files - can then be uploaded to the cloud by providers such as Dropbox, SugarSync or Windows Live Mesh.
