FAQ
Is the encryption key sent to the server?
No. The key lives exclusively in the URL fragment (
#...) which your browser never sends to the server. JDownloader reads it locally and decrypts the file on your device.Which encryption is used?
XChaCha20-Poly1305 IETF with per-chunk BLAKE2b key derivation - identical to the browser decryption.
Does it work with password-protected shares?
Yes. JDownloader will prompt you for the password and unwrap the key locally.
Can I use my account for more bandwidth downloads?
Yes. Go to Settings → Account Manager in JDownloader, click Add, select cryptfiles.cloud, enter your e-mail as username and your API token as password. You can create an API token in your account settings. Premium and Pro accounts get higher bandwidth limits.
