Boxcryptor Linux Compatibility for Mounting Dropbox Decrypted Folders #83

Closed jonathonbyrdziak closed 9 years ago

Hey Guys, I really appreciate all of the work that you're putting into this project. Is there anything that you can do to make encfs capable of mounting a Boxcryptor Local Account on Linux?

It Seems as if Boxcryptor has removed the encfs.xml file that kept it compatible with encfs. What can we do to make this all compatible?

I'd ask the Boxcryptor folks. I'm open to adding an alternative configuration mechanism if that's the issue.

In case anyone else stumbles on this here, Create an EncFS volume compatible with BoxCryptor Classic was a useful guide. However, the simplest workaround is to set things up with the BoxCryptor Classic app. The newever BoxCryptor 2+ version is a complete re-write and isn't compatible with the EncFS implementation.

During the 1.x EncFS release changes, I'm guessing that if there are any changes that break backwards compatibility with EncFS ~v1.7, BoxCryptor classic may stop being interoperable with EncFS.
