Move Files to Secure Folder

In addition to applications, you can also move certain files from your phone to the secure folder. This can be done in two ways.

The first way is to go to your My Files application or Gallery application in your application drawer. Select the files and folders you want to move by pressing and holding. Then press the three-point menu button in the upper right corner and select “Move to secure folder”. You will be prompted to verify your identity again using your lock screen, and then they will be moved. To access these files, use the My Files or Gallery application in the secure folder.

Alternatively, go to your secure folder and click the “Add Files” button. From there, you can select either My Files or the Image, Video, Audio or Document Explorer. You can then select one or more files and press “Done” at the bottom of the screen to move them to the secure folder.

Note that files downloaded to the Safe Folder, such as those downloaded by email applications or browsers, are only accessible to the applications located in the folder.

You can move your files out of your Safe Folder in the same way. Go to My Files or Gallery in the Safe Folder, select the files and press “Move from Safe Folder”.
