Manage Clouds and Locations

Boxcryptor supports a vast variety of cloud storage providers out of the box. Additionally, Boxcryptor works with every cloud provider which supports the WebDAV protocol.

Add Provider

Boxcryptor works as an additional security layer for your cloud storage. On macOS, we connect directly to your provider and handle both uploading and encrypting your files. To add a new provider to Boxcryptor, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Boxcryptor app and navigate to Home.
  2. Click on Add Provider and select your provider.
  3. Allow Boxcryptor to sign in to your provider and complete the authentication process.

You can also rename or delete your provider with ctrl-click.

Google Drive

Boxcryptor gives you access to files stored in Google Drive's My Drive, Shared Drives and Shared_. Additional folders backed up via My Computer_ are _not available.

iCloud

Due to technical restrictions by Apple, Boxcryptor for macOS differentiates between iCloud and iCloud Drive (Mac & PC only). If you plan to use Boxcryptor on your iPhone or iPad as well, make sure to use iCloud, because iCloud Drive (Mac & PC only) is only available on Mac or PC devices.

Make sure to use the same Apple ID on your iOS device and your Mac.

Custom Locations

Boxcryptor supports adding folders of your local file system as Local Storage provider:

  1. Open the Boxcryptor app and navigate to Home.
  2. Click on Add Provider and select your provider.
  3. Click on Local Storage and choose your own, customized location.

If your chosen location is not a sync folder of a cloud provider, nothing will be uploaded to the cloud. The data stays on your PC locally, just like any other folder, but encrypted.

WebDAV Locations

If your cloud provider is not listed as a supported provider, chances are high that Boxcryptor supports it nevertheless, because we support the WebDAV protocol. This protocol is used by most providers.

  1. Contact your cloud provider for the WebDAV credentials.

Boxcryptor requires a secure server connection (https://) with a valid or self-signed SSL certificate installed on the device.

In local networks, IP-based unencrypted connections (http: //) are also possible, provided you allow this on your device.

  1. Open the Boxcryptor app and navigate to Home.
  2. Tap on Add Provider and select WebDAV.
  3. Complete the authentication process with the given WebDAV credentials

ownCloud and nextCloud both support WebDAV. By default, the configuration URLs are:

https://example.com/owncloud/remote.php/webdav and

https://example.com/nextcloud/remote.php/dav/files/username/
