# Encrypted Nextcloud Portable Client
|
|
|
|
This is a portable Nextcloud client that runs on Windows.
|
|
At starttime a Batch file is executed and will prompt you for a password.
|
|
On first run this will set your password to encrypt the Nextcloud client configuration (host, user, password) and the data stored in your portable `Documents` folder.
|
|
|
|
**ATTENTION**: This currently only works if used inside a complete PortableApps setup like used on USB sticks with the following directory structure:
|
|
```
|
|
X:\
|
|
Documents\
|
|
nextcloud\
|
|
PortableApps\
|
|
nextcloudPortable\
|
|
```
|
|
A setup with the PortableApps directories not at the root of a drive is not yet tested.
|
|
|
|
**ATTENTION**: A wrong password can remove your data.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
1. Install 'nextcloudPortable_X.X.paf.exe' with PortableApps Plateform
|
|
2. Run Nextcloud
|
|
3. Enter a password
|
|
4. Create folder ```X:\Documents\nextcloud```
|
|
5. Setup nextcloud with folder ```../../../../Documents/nextcloud```
|
|

### Encrypted ownCloud Portable Client
|
|
https://github.com/BennyLi/encryptedOwnCloudPortableClient. Thanks to the author.
|
|
|
|
### Nextcloud
|
|
Currently packaged is the Nextcloud client version 2.3.1 from https://nextcloud.com/install/#install-clients.
|
|
|
|
### 7-Zip
|
|
For encrypted packaging a 7za.exe is included. This is the official portable one in version 16.04 from http://www.7-zip.org/download.html.
|
|
|
|
If you ask yourself if 7-Zip is secure enough, please reefer to http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/29375/is-7-zips-aes-encryption-just-as-secure-as-truecrypts-version.

### Bat To Exe Converter
|
|
To convert the start.bat to .exe I used Bat To Exe Converter version 2.2.0.0 from http://www.f2ko.de/en/b2e.php.
|
|
Currently I need an .exe file because the PortableApps Launcher cannot handle .bat files with the [WaitForEXEN](http://portableapps.com/manuals/PortableApps.comLauncher/ref/launcher.ini/launch.html#waitforexen) setting.
