1.1 About BoxCryptor
BoxCryptor is an encryption software optimized for cloud storage. With BoxCryptor you can easily encrypt your data before it is stored in the cloud. To secure your files, BoxCryptor uses AES-256 standard, which is approved for top secret documents by the US government1. BoxCryptor is easy and transparent to use: BoxCryptor creates a virtual drive and all files stored in this drive are automatically encrypted and stored. When opening files in the virtual drive, BoxCryptor decrypts them in real-time so that they are accessible like any other unencrypted file. File-by-File encryption: BoxCryptor works on individual files at a time and not on container files. That means no need to resize volumes and no problems to synchronize or backup individual files!

2. Installation
2.1 Installing BoxCryptor
After downloading the BoxCryptor.dmg from our homepage, open the file and double click on the installation program. It will guide you through the whole installation process. Make sure you have admin rights on this machine because we need to install a driver to the system. 1. Create a New Encrypted Folder An encrypted folder is a regular folder where BoxCryptor will store encrypted files. Choose the cloud provider of your choice in the setup wizard, or select a custom path for your folder. Now you can enter a name for your encrypted folder. Later you can connect your mobile Devices or other Computers to this direction. 2. Create Password You can type in the password which should be at least 6 characters including numbers and symbols. After you have set up everything you can change your password from the BoxCryptor main window. IMPORTANT: BoxCryptor is zero-knowledge software and we do not keep any personal information or passwords, which means that it is absolutely not possible to restore or reset your password in case you lost it. If you forget the password the data on the encrypted files will be lost. 3. Congratulations! Now you have created a new encrypted folder! Simply store your private files in the corresponding BoxCryptor drive and BoxCryptor will encrypt your data.

Label for the BoxCryptor drive Here you can type in the label of the BoxCryptor drive. Mount as local disc BoxCryptor automatically detects if your encrypted folder is stored on a hard- or network drive and thus creates the virtual drive. To force BoxCryptor to always mount as hard drive you can check this option. Mount for all users If checked BoxCryptor mounts this drive for all users. This is especially required for some system services like sharing over network and windows search. These services are run under the SYSTEM user, which has to see your drive. Enable filename encryption If checked BoxCryptor also encrypts your file- and folder names. Otherwise they will be saved in plain text. This option is only available in the Unlimited version Enable Spotlight If checked BoxCryptor will be automatically mounted as fixed drive and for all users. This feature will enable the usage of the spotlight search from Mac OS.

Enable key validation By default, BoxCryptor refuses to mount an encrypted directory if the password provided is not correct. With this option it is possible to disable this validation and use BoxCryptor with secondary passwords. Users can then have separate sets of files in the same encrypted folder. Because BoxCryptor does not display files whose name did not decrypt properly, only the files for the given password are shown. If you change your primary password, the secondary ones will not work until the primary password is the same as before! By default this option is checked. For experts: Use an alternative configuration file If you like to store the configuration file outside the encrypted folder you can check this option and choose the location where to store the configuration file. Important: By storing the configuration elsewhere than the root of your encrypted folder the mobile BoxCryptor apps are no longer supported!
