It got even more interesting. After losing access to Boxycryptor on my office iMac I came home in a panic to get access to the encrypted files on my laptop and decrypt them so I would not lose them in the ensuing mess. Boxycryptor's documentation on this process is sketchy at best. I tried just moving the encrypted folder and it went "poof" - gone. To make a long story short, I ended up losing the files on my laptop too. I did a complete restore from Time Machine, but the laptop wouldn't restart. I did a command-R reboot and restored the OS and got the laptop working just like it had before that damn mouse came into my life. Turns out you can move individual files out of the encrypted folder onto your hard drive one at a time and save them. So that's where I am now. Laptop is working, latest Boxcryptor version is working on it and files are encrypted. Now its time to go to the office and straighten that mess out.
Edit: Mrs WD and I binge watched Narco while the laptop was restoring. Great show! We watched 6 episodes.
