Hello Steve Schwab,

AxCrypt will keep track on the opened encrypted files, to update and re-encrypt the same. If we opened the file and updated the contents, then AxCrypt will re-encrypt the updated file.

So after editing the encrypted files, we have to click the broom icon or sign out from the AxCrypt app to re-encrypt the updated files. We have to close all the instance of the encrypted file(s) opened application.

And the AxCrypt app will be checking whether the opened file and the corresponding application are closed or not? If closed, then the AxCrypt app will automatically update the contents of the file and re-encrypt the same.

Actually, we have to close the file opened application completely, to update and re-encrypt the file. Sometimes, we have to manually click the red Broom icon, to clean and update the pending files.

For example: You opened an encrypted document and updating the document. At the same time, If you have opened another document in the same application, or even if just the application is running without an opened document, AxCrypt can’t be sure enough to actually do the re-encryption.

still, If you are facing any issues, please write to Support@axcrypt.net. we are happy to help you.

Hello Steve Sousa,

Please don’t send the same question on a different topic. we responded to the same question in different topic links.

Hello Steve Sousa,

“Please avoid sending a same query in different mediums. You may get duplicate response”

AxCrypt will use the AxCrypt account password to encrypt/decrypt the files. The account password is used/involved to encrypt the files with the AxCrypt app.

You can use the AxCrypt key sharing feature to encrypt your file(s), then key shares the file with other recipients,  If they want to open the received encrypted file then we have to share the file password with them or the files should be key shared with receivers’ email addresses.

There is no need to share passwords in order to send or share files securely with others.

AxCrypt has a key sharing feature letting you add recipients by email address, who when they receive the file can open it with their own AxCrypt password.

Key sharing embeds the shared key into the file. The file must thus first be key shared with the recipient, then sent or file shared. Please note that AxCrypt does not share or send the actual file. To see a quick instructional video explaining how to use key sharing, please view https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z3KOZD-Yks

Please note: Recipients needs to have an AxCrypt app, AxCrypt application and account is mandatory is decrypt the encrypted files.

The recipient just needs a free AxCrypt ID and will be automatically invited via email if necessary. The invitation email contains instructions on how to view and edit the file.

Please check out our video tutorials at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoSoXBjq6iCG5232fHoWStA and our other documentation at https://www.axcrypt.net/information/get-started/ to get started with AxCrypt.

Hello Bob,

Apologies for the rancid experience with AxCrypt.

Sorry to say, Currently, There is no user guide/manual for download the latest version.– but we do have lots of information and introductory videos at https://www.axcrypt.net/ .

Please check out our video tutorials at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoSoXBjq6iCG5232fHoWStA and our other documentation at https://www.axcrypt.net/information/get-started/ to get started with AxCrypt.

How does one share a key with another person so they can open encrypted documents I create with your product? Who knows? —

You can use the AxCrypt key sharing feature to encrypt your file(s), then key shares the file with other recipients,  If they want to open the received encrypted file then we have to share the file password with them or the files should be key shared with receivers’ email addresses.

You can send the encrypted file via email(Gmail, yahoo, etc..) to other users. AxCrypt will not send the physical file.

I will explain about the key sharing features:

There is no need to share passwords in order to send or share files securely with others.

AxCrypt has a key sharing feature letting you add recipients by email address, who when they receive the file can open it with their own AxCrypt password.

Key sharing embeds the shared key into the file. The file must thus first be key shared with the recipient, then sent or file shared. Please note that AxCrypt does not share or send the actual file. To see a quick instructional video explaining how to use key sharing, please view https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z3KOZD-Yks .

Note that the person you’re sending the file has to use AxCrypt 2 with the email address you shared the file. Sharing a secured file is made directly from the AxCrypt software by choosing the secured file, click the share button and simply select the team member you want to share it to. The recipient just needs a free AxCrypt ID and will be automatically invited via email if necessary. The invitation email contains instructions on how to view and edit the file.

If you have any queries, please feel free to contact our support via support@axcrypt.net.our support team will help you.

Hello George ,

Thanks for your feedback/suggestions.

We are working on App colors and design issues. The same will be fixed and updated in the upcoming versions of the AxCrypt app.

Hello mango

We’re looking at AxCrypt and it looks like I’d have to use the same password (version 2) for everyone unless we use certificates, which might be a problem either way — Sorry to say, it’s not clear. please more detailed about the question.

AxCrypt 2 now use a single sign on model where the same password is used to sign in to our servers and to protect your files.

AxCrypt will use the AxCrypt account password to encrypt/decrypt the files. The account password is used/involved to encrypt the files with the AxCrypt app.

It appears that the older version uses any password but I’m concerned that it’s not maintained and may not work properly. — yes not maintained. We are stopped developing new features and fixing issues for the legacy version(AxCrypt 1.x). we will not be actively developing 1.x, nor will support be a priority. We are advising users to use AxCrypt 2.x latest.

If you have any queries, please feel free to contact our support via support@axcrypt.net.

Hello jim,

Apologies for the rancid experience with AxCrypt.

Version 2 has typeface so dim it can’t be read. This may be due to the dark view option in MacOS Big Sur. — We are working on a design issue and it. it will release in the near future.

The right click to select files doesn’t work.– Currently the AxCrypt Mac application does not have the right click context menu. But we will develop the same in the future upcoming versions.

It appears a login is needed before each time anything can be done. — AxCrypt 2 works just like your email software or most other password-protected systems. You sign in once and remain signed in until signed out. Just like you can read many emails without entering the password every time, AxCrypt will do the same. The files are still encrypted, but your password is remembered until you sign out of AxCrypt.

AxCrypt 2.x will be available on many platforms and devices, while AxCrypt 1.x will always be limited to the Windows desktop. The new version is rewritten from the ground up on a new technological platform, and there are many differences.

AxCrypt 2 comes with newly improved and user-friendly user interface, account management(subscription information, password change and etc.) and more additional features.
