    Hi @mtnk,

    We do not share our plans for the future but the Knox app for OS X as we know it will not be coming to Windows. Knox relies on a lot of OS X APIs to drive the file format, the encryption, and so on.

    To do Knox for Windows, we'll need to rebuild it completely to be cross-platform and we currently do not have plans for this.

    We'd suggest looking at TrueCrypt or VeraCrypt instead.

    @mtnk Windows includes the Encrypting File System (EFS), which allows you to encrypt individual folders and files. To use this feature, right-click a file or folder, select Properties, and click the Advanced button on the General tab. Enable the Encrypt contents to secure data option. Files are encrypted with a private key associated with your Windows user account password.
