As soon as Boxcryptor has been added to a Microsoft Teams channel, there is another feature available
in the “Posts” tab of your channel: You are able to share encrypted files with the entire team, by selecting
the Boxcryptor logo below the team conversation. You can upload up to four encrypted files of your
choice. Anyone who has Boxcryptor authorization in the channel can open the file which is now displayed
as a post, and read it in plain text.
A glance into the future
There are still limitations if you want to protect your data in every possible scenario in Microsoft Teams.
For example, it is not yet possible to encrypt data end-to-end in a private channel or the individual and
group chats. Also, Boxcryptor only supports the Microsoft Teams client apps and not yet the browser
application. The long-term ambition is an application that gives companies the ability to encrypt business
data in any Microsoft Teams application scenario without having to give away the key to their own data.
