Can't open encrypted files via Boxcryptor

Sorry for resurrecting such an old thread: But Martin F.21 - was there ever a fix to this? I'm having the exact same issue! Opening the old boxcryptor-container out of dropbox was just not possible - simply copying the container to another location made it possible again. It seems like dropbox on Windows 11 somehow messes up the synched file somehow

Thanks, Martin! Just emailed you, so we'll continue there.

Can we actually send you an email, so we can look further into this?

sure.

Thanks for trying, Martin.

hmmm...

restarted several times (windows first aid 🙂

Thanks for the update here, Martin.

Hmm, the thing here is that if the Dropbox application is completely closed and the issue persists, it doesn't sound like the issue is Dropbox related.

It might sound unimportant, but have you restarted the computer at all ever since this started happening?

just an idea with the observation named above:
was there a change in beta on a not that visible topic, e.g. how file pathes were handeled?

-> Or any other thing that does not change the "last change date" of a file
but modify some (meta) properties which does not lead to change of the "last change date" of the files?

Maybe the introduction of the new state symbols may make such a (tiny) change?

A thing that is not reverted when installing a non beta version again?

when looking into file properties from all (many) files:
- the change date did not change

- the last access was on the day of dropbox update (even for files I can garantie that I didnt open them for several month/nor looked into their folder)

just deinstalled boxcrayptor and reinstalled it.

Same behaviour: within dropbox path I can't open files encrypted files, copying them to another location everything is fine.

Hi Hannah,

thanks for getting back.
Its also for offline files.
It still persists when dropbox is closed (no more tasks visible in task manager)

After upgrade to beta there where some indexing and sync processes (but I'm not sure for all files?)
but when looking into the file properties, files were not changed (old ones have old dates)
