Cryptomator vaults in vBoxxCloud

Yes. Cryptomator is supported with vBoxxCloud, so you can keep a Cryptomator vault in your vBoxxCloud storage. Files you place in the vault are encrypted on your own device by Cryptomator before they are uploaded. vBoxxCloud stores and syncs the encrypted files like any other files, but cannot read their contents or file names. Files outside the vault are stored as normal vBoxxCloud files, with encryption at rest and in transit, and keep features such as previews, search and online editing.

Zero-knowledge means that only you hold the key to the files in your Cryptomator vault. Encryption and decryption happen on your device, or in your browser when you unlock a vault in vBoxxCloud. Your vault password is not sent to vBoxx, and vBoxx cannot open the decrypted files. This protection applies to files inside a Cryptomator vault only. It does not change how other files in your vBoxxCloud storage are handled.

When you unlock a vault in vBoxxCloud in your web browser, the decryption runs locally in your browser. The browser downloads the encrypted files and decrypts them on your computer with the password you enter. The password and the decrypted contents stay in your browser and are not sent to vBoxx servers. This is client-side decryption, not server-side decryption. When you close the vault or the browser tab, the decrypted view is gone.

Not in the same way as normal vBoxxCloud files. Because vBoxxCloud only sees encrypted data, it cannot create previews, index the contents for search or open the files in online editing. If you share an encrypted vault file, the recipient receives encrypted data and also needs the vault password to read it. Use a Cryptomator vault for files that need the highest confidentiality, and keep files you want to search, preview or edit together outside the vault.

Your vault password is never sent to vBoxx, so vBoxx support cannot reset it or recover your files for you. Cryptomator offers a recovery key when you create a vault. Store this recovery key in a safe place, such as a company password manager, so your business can still open the vault if a password is lost.
