BoxCryptor for Mac OS X From German Secomba

Mac users have been looking forward to it: the native Mac OS X version of BoxCryptor from Secomba GmbH is available.

It now transports the often recommended usability of the Windows version to the Mac. 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.

For those who want to enjoy the benefits of e.g. Dropbox and care about adequate data security, BoxCryptor is the solution. It is optimized for cloud storage and helps users to store their files in the cloud without worries about privacy.

BoxCryptor, recommended among others by Lifehacker or Internet World Business, allows to encrypt entire folders in a fast way. Encryption is done file-based and using AES-256 standard. Any file stored in the virtual BoxCryptor drive is individually encrypted and stored in the destination folder. This folder, now containing encrypted files, can then be uploaded to the cloud by providers such as Dropbox, Google Drive or Windows Sky Drive.

For now BoxCryptor is available on Windows, Mac OS X, iOS and Android and can be used by private users for free on all platforms. Former restrictions such as limited encryption volume have been loosened.

Only for users who need special features (for example support of multiple encrypted folders) an unlimited version is available for €29.99.

Business users pay a one-time fee of €69.99 per user to use all desktop platforms and the mobile apps are also free for them.
