As above, my BoxCryptor encrypted filesystem sits in Dropbox. Purely for click efficiency, I created a symbolic link from Dropbox to my mounted (unencrypted) boxcryptor filesystem (/Volumes/BoxCryptor). I later noticed that Dropbox doesn't respect the symbolic nature of the agentofkaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01726092759041314700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21033770.post-60399199571099154602012-08-22T18:14:00.214+02:002012-08-22T18:14:00.214+02:00Hi Mohan!

I hadn't looked at Password Safe as it doesn't provide straightforward support of OS X making it a non-starter for me (similar issues as with KeePass as above). agentofkaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01726092759041314700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21033770.post-24946384829145063042012-08-22T11:51:18.668+02:002012-08-22T11:51:18.668+02:00Hi Jeff,

But for 1password for each device I feel a bit expensive for me. I am using open source password safe on my desk top the same data file I am using in boxcryptor on both devices. But on IOS I am using PwSafe app which supports the same data file. <br />K N V M Mohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05493410504056152137noreply@blogger.com
