Cryptee Adds DOCX Support for File Editing
Hot on the heels of its big 3.0 update, the next announcement for Cryptee is support for DOCX uploading and editing.

Cryptee does not run / execute macros while opening docx files, allowing you to open / edit / save DOCX files safely, without having to worry about your computer getting infected.
