    Veracrypt creates disk containers that are then used to store files. Boxcryptor Classic uses EncFS to individually encrypt files.

    This makes BC favorable for clouds because then you're uploading the files themselves (encrypted), versus one huge file that could take forever to decrypt.

    The development of TrueCrypt was ended in 5/2014 after Microsoft terminated support of Windows XP. Windows 8/7/Vista and later offer integrated support for encrypted disks and virtual disk images. Such integrated support is also available on other platforms. You should migrate any data encrypted by TrueCrypt to encrypted disks or virtual disk images supported on your platform.
