com.boxcryptor.BCCFS.KextLoaderHelper
Boxcryptor is a cross-platform encryption utility for macOS that adds transparent encryption to files stored in cloud services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and other WebDAV-compatible services. It encrypts files locally before uploading them, allowing users to keep sensitive data secure while using cloud storage. The KextLoaderHelper is a system daemon component that manages kernel extension loading for Boxcryptor's encrypted volume functionality on macOS. This daemon runs in the background and is bundled with the main Boxcryptor application.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionBoxcryptor has been discontinued as of December 31, 2025 — Secomba GmbH, the vendor, ceased all operational activities and no longer supports the product. The KextLoaderHelper daemon is a component of the Boxcryptor application and cannot be updated separately. Although the main Boxcryptor app shipped with native Apple Silicon support as of version 3.x (released in 2022), the vendor is no longer providing updates or technical support. Since Boxcryptor is now abandoned and there is no active maintenance, you should plan to migrate your encrypted files to an alternative cloud-storage encryption solution before macOS 28 removes Rosetta 2 in late 2027. Consider alternatives such as Tresorit (native Apple Silicon support, actively maintained, similar zero-knowledge encryption model), cryptomator (free and open-source, native on Apple Silicon), or native encryption built into iCloud+ (if your use case fits). Extract or decrypt your data from Boxcryptor vaults while the app still runs, since no further updates will be released.
