Boxcryptor 2.0.405.41
For Windows Phone users there are a few solutions that seem suited for this job and one of the most promising apps is the cross-platform Boxcryptor utility.
Clean and practical design
The looks of this application are fairly tidy and well adapted to the general purpose of the app, as the GUI ensures ease of use and provides a well-ordered structuring of the content.
The smooth graphics are consistent from end to end, while the commands and functions are all neatly tucked inside the main menu that resides in the lower side of the screen.
Going through the various sections of the app and browsing the files it lists inside the corresponding screen are carried out seamlessly, without any delays or other type of glitch.
Quick provider selection and upload protection
Boxcryptor offers you a wide-ranging choice insofar as the cloud services you can integrate with it are concerned, so you should be able to use all the popular storage providers, including OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive or Box.net.
Once you select a provider from the list and connect the app, you will be able to view all the items stored inside your personal account and handle them as you please. To transfer files from your phone you have to do this one file at a time, specifying for each item if you want it to be encrypted with the powerful AES-256 cipher or not.
It is important to note that in order to be able to use several cloud services inside Boxcryptor and activate the filename encryption feature you will have to upgrade the free version to the paid one.
File management features at a glance
This application includes a set of common functions that tare meant to make it easier for you to make quick modifications to both files and folders. Thus, you have the possibility to rename, copy or move items with one tap and even delete the ones you no longer need.
The order in which the files appear on screen can be adjusted, as the utility has several sorting options for you to use. The app itself can be protected against unauthorized use by choosing a 4-digit PIN code that will be requested each time Boxcryptor is accessed.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
The simple interface, with clean graphics and a smart layout is quite practical and easy to use, but it could use some customization options. |
Function9
Very well equipped to provide security and file management options as well, this app scores very well here. |
Security9
Pretty discreet while running, Boxcryptor still needs to access the phone identity information for some reason. |
Battery5
The application takes up a lot of power to function well, so the batter usage constantly reaches high levels. |
Price9
Those who want to protect the files transferred to a single cloud service provider have everything they need at hand, while for the integration of more services a fee is required. |
Compatibility9
The utility needs at least a Windows Phone 8 handset in order to be installed and put to work. |
