PRESS RELEASE
Boxcryptor publishes new Mac OS X Version
Boxcryptor – the easy and secure encryption software for Drobpox, Google Drive and many other providers has released its new Boxcryptor for Mac OS X version today. With the new Boxcryptor for Mac OS X version, the German encryption software is now available on all main platforms, including Windows, iOS, Android, Google Chrome and Mac OS X and offers its users a lot of new features, especially for teams.
Augsburg, 12/05/2013: Today the German security company Secomba GmbH published the official 2.0 version of its Mac OS X version. This version allows users of Apple’s popular operating system to encrypt and decrypt files with the new Boxcryptor file format which was introduced a couple of months ago.
Next to an improved usability, the new Boxcryptor version also includes additional features for easy and secure collaboration with others. This is especially important for teams in business environments and for private users who want to securely share encrypted files with others. Robert Freudenreich, founder and CTO, emphasizes that Boxcryptor will remain a zero knowledge provider and does not have access to the user’s information or the user’s private keys: ”Any information we receive from our users is always encrypted and protected by the user’s password which is kept secret and never leaves the user’s device nor is transferred to anyone“.
Before the release of this new versions, Mac users had to use Boxcryptor Classic, if they wanted to securely use cloud storage providers like Dropbox. Now they can also use the new features like user and device management or group functionality. Moreover they benefit from the master key function which allows companies and teams e.g. to set policies or to reset the users’ password.
Freudenreich explains: “We have been working hard on this new Mac version during the past months. The great feedback we got from our beta testers helped us to deliver a great final version”. The new Boxcryptor version is available in a free version for private users. Users who want more features like filename encryption can upgrade to the Unlimited licenses or the special company packages.
