Hi @sina2

You can store your configuration file in a different location, outside of Box Drive, or name the file something else and use the ENCFS6_CONFIG environment variable to tell encfs4win where to find it (see: https://github.com/jetwhiz/encfs4win/blob/master/encfs/encfs.pod#environment-variables).

Since this file has your secret encryption key stored in it, it is recommended to not have this file stored in a synced cloud for maximum security.

Hi @jetwhiz

I understand how to use the ENCFS6_CONFIG environment variable in windows.

Thank you very much for answering my question.
