Beschreibung

AESCrypt for iOS decrypts/previews files encrypted and saved in the cloud (Dropbox, Drive, Evernote, Email, etc). The files must be previously encrypted using the free encryption software at AESCrypt.com.

An in-app purchase/upgrade allows you to encrypt files/documents from other apps or pictures taken with the camera securely from inside AESCrypt for iOS. You can then share these encrypted files with your favorite cloud app.

AESCrypt.com is a free file encryption software available on several operating systems that uses the industry standard Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to easily and securely encrypt files.

AESCrypt is the perfect solution for those who wish to backup information and store that data in a cloud-based storage service or any place where sensitive files might be accessible by someone else.

Free Features (Decryption):
-Adds AESCrypt as an "Open In..." option for .aes files thus letting AESCrypt decrypt any file previously encrypted and saved in other cloud storage apps such as Dropbox, Email, Drive, Evernote etc.
-Saves your decrypted files in the app for previewing or exporting to other apps.
-Allows you to rename or quickly swipe to delete your decrypted files.
-Performs DoD 5220.22-M Data Wipe on file data before deleting files.
-Previews decrypted files of most major file types (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, JPG, PNG, TXT, etc).
-Displays the decryption date, file size and original source of each decrypted file.
-Touch ID to keep your files in the app safe.

In-App Upgrade Features (Encryption):
-Allows you to encrypt files right on your iOS device and store theses encrypted files in the application's file area for later export.
-Lets you use the camera to take a photograph and save/encrypt the picture all from inside this app.
-Adds AESCrypt as an "Open In..." option for all file types thus letting AESCrypt encrypt any file you send to it from other applications such as Pages, Numbers or Keynote.
-Gives you the ability to export encrypted files and encrypted pictures to other cloud storage apps you have installed.

Notes:
-This app decrypts files already encrypted and saved in another app. Encrypting files can be done via an in-app purchase/upgrade.
-This app will only decrypt files encrypted with the free software at AESCrypt.com. It will not decrypt any other file type.

Version 2.2

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

-Fixed bug ocassionally when encrypted file is sent to the app from another app, the decryption password popup would not always be shown on the first attempt.
-Added the file name being encrypted or decrypted to the password prompt popup window. This is useful when a file is sent in from another app because it makes it clear for which file you are entering the password.

May not work to encrypt

The application still works to decrypt files encrypted somewhere else (e.g. on MacOS or Linux). The process to decrypt is not obvious, you have to select the aes file in "files", then "share" and send it to the app.
Encryption needs a paid upgrade to "pro features", but other people posted that this does not appear to be possible. The developper's web site is offline. Apparently, the app is not maintained any more (mid 2022).

few minor requests!

One "issue" i would like to be changed is the fact that the "You have no files..." notification appears even before i have entered the passcode.

Also: Please(pretty please!) add an option to disable the "automatic encryption process" when adding a file. I want to be able to add files without immediatly beeing asked to enter a password to encrypt them.

And lastly: Would it be possible to have the files accessible through the phones built in file manager? I know this would directly interfere with the previously mentioned passcode but maybe you could at least make it available when the app's passcode option is disabled? Or maybe a "one-way-sandbox" of some sort?

Thank you!
