Ok, good to know. I'll just just have to do without it for the moment. This
means that the user will have the manage his private key himself for now.
Although this is definitely the right way to go in terms of security, I was
also thinking about offering the user an option to let PGPbox manage his
passphrase protected private key for him. The idea behind this, is that it
could make it easier for nontechnical users, as they will only have to
remember a password and not carry their private key around on a usb stick.
This may also come in handy in when trying to fetch encrypted files from
pgpbox on your phone.

But I'm not exactly sure yet if this would just promote insecure behaviour.
I'm thinking it's at least more secure than accessing your files from
dropbox on your phone, and like I said this would only be an option not the
default. What do you guys think?
