Ratings and reviews

The app works well. It can be a bit hard to get it to connect locally when using network storage. The app doesn't have network capabilities that are easy to use. Feb 8, 2020 After using the app for several years now, I'm satisfied with the features. But, the interface of the smartphone app is looking just a bit dated. Also, there is no support for Google Docs / Sheets / Slides files as is for Microsoft Office files. This is a drawback.

Whilst I praised this app originally I have to say the latest version is a backwards step in terms of usability. Lost the ability to mark individual files as favourites (now only folders), doesn't seem to clear its cache properly on exit, every time a text file is opened its shown in a built-in viewer means not my previously selected editor (Jota), so it's less than straightforward to edit a file, uploading a file seems to use a different encryption method than the Windows version uses.

Update: camera upload is working now, nice! However, only for the main camera roll. Other apps like OneDrive allow you to select other folders to be included for automatic photo upload. Maybe I should clarify that I suggest being able to pick one or more folders on my phone (!) for camera upload. Being able to pick where those photos are uploaded to in my Boxcryptor drive would be a nice feature, too, but less important to me.
