The Finder integration includes the Boxcryptor context-menu available when right-clicking a file or folder within Boxcryptor in Finder and overlay icons which reflect the encryption status of files and folders in Boxcryptor. Since version 2.3.401 (733) Boxcryptor for macOS, the integration of Boxcryptor into Finder is implemented as a Finder Sync extension as recommended by Apple. With macOS 10.10 Yosemite Apple introduced new App Extensions to add custom functionality for example to Finder.

You may also contact the support for your anti-virus software vendor and report this incompatibility so that they can fix it. If you encounter any problems with the Boxcryptor drive or its performance and are using an anti-virus software on your Mac, disable the real-time scanning feature or exclude the Boxcryptor drive if possible. This can lead to serious performance problems or even freeze the whole Boxcryptor drive. This can lead to incompatibility problems with the virtual Boxcryptor drive when the anti-virus software intercepts file operations on the virtual Boxcryptor drive as well as all file operations performed by Boxcryptor itself. The real-time scanning feature of anti-virus software intercepts file operations and scans them for malware behavior. Anti-virus software real-time scanning incompatibilities A classic example for a background service causing high load on the Boxcryptor drive is a search indexing service, e.g. As Boxcryptor is then busy handling all the file operations of the background process, Boxcryptor has less time to handle file operations of other application and thus might feel slow. Slow performance of the Boxcryptor drive might be caused by a background process performing a huge amount of file operations on the Boxcryptor drive without the user noticing. A Background Process is Causing High Load If you have trouble with one of your regular apps and performance is your priority, you could try out an alternative, to check if it can deal with Boxcryptor’s encryption better. This results in many calls to Boxcryptor and leads to slower performance. Some apps, however, write each byte one by one. In this case, Boxcryptor only needs to be active a few times during encryption and performance is not affected. Well written apps write their files in blocks. Boxcryptor simply acts as a filter, taking read and write requests from the operating system, and encrypting them on the way.
When an app is slower than usual when used in combination with Boxcryptor, the app might have a problem with handling Boxcryptor’s encryption. An App is Slower Than Usual When Used With Boxcryptor
