How to enable secure folder on Samsung

Ο Ασφαλής φάκελος είναι μια χρήσιμη λειτουργία σε Samsung (Samsung Secure Folder) που σας επιτρέπει να διατηρείτε τις και τα αρχεία σας ασφαλή. Δείτε πώς μπορείτε να το ενεργοποιήσετε και να το χρησιμοποιήσετε.

How the secure folder works

Samsung Secure Folder is an application that allows you to hide a part of your phone. It uses Samsung's Knox security platform to create a new home screen protected by a password or your device's biometrics. Applications and files you place in this folder cannot be accessed, and if you unlock him.

You can add an existing app on your phone to the Secure Folder to make a copy of the app. This app will not have any of the existing files, its temporary , οπότε είναι ουσιαστικά μια νέα εγκατάσταση της εφαρμογής. Μπορείτε επίσης να προσθέσετε νέες εφαρμογές από το Galaxy Store ή το Play Store για να τις εγκαταστήσετε μόνο στο Secure Folder.

Τα αρχεία στον ασφαλή φάκελο δεν μπορούν να ανοίξουν χωρίς κάποιο έλεγχο ς. Αυτά τα αρχεία δεν θα εμφανίζονται σε κανονικούς file explorers ή στην εφαρμογή Gallery. Μόνο οι εφαρμογές που βρίσκονται ήδη στον Ασφαλή φάκελο έχουν πρόσβαση στα κρυφά αρχεία σας.

Enable the secure folder on your device

Πριν προσπαθήσετε να ενεργοποιήσετε τον Ασφαλή φάκελο στη συσκευή σας, ελέγξτε αν η συσκευή σας είναι συμβατή. Λειτουργεί με με Samsung Galaxy Knox με Android 7.0 Nougat και νεότερη έκδοση. Τα παρακάτω τηλέφωνα είναι συμβατά με τη δυνατότητα:

  • Galaxy S Series, starting from S6 to S10
  • Galaxy Note Series, starting from Note 8 to Note10
  • Galaxy fold
  • Galaxy A Series, including the A20, A50, A70 and A90
  • Galaxy Tab S Series, starting with the S3

Before setting up Secure Folder, you first need a Samsung account. Follow Samsung's instructions for creating an account before proceeding.

On newer Galaxy phones, such as the S10 and Note 10, the app is pre-installed. Check the "drawer" of applications on your device to confirm if you have it installed. If your phone does not have the Secure Folder application, you can download it from Play Store or the Galaxy Store.

On your phone, open the Settings app, then select Biometrics and Security> Safe folder. On some phones, the first menu may be "Screen lock and security" or simply "Security".

It will prompt you to sign in to your Samsung account. If you do not already have an account, create one now.

Wait until the device creates your secure folder. This process can take up to a minute. Next, select a lock screen type for the Secure Folder. Depending on your device, you can choose a pattern, one or a password or also enable your device's built-in biometric fingerprints.

Your secure folder will be available for use like any other Android application on your device. Look for the Secure Folder app shortcut on your phone home screen or in the app drawer.

After activating your Safe Folder, it is a good idea to take a look at the settings. You can access the settings by pressing the three-dot button in the upper right corner of the Secure Folder screen. From there you can manage your secure applications and edit lock type, auto-lock settings, account settings and notifications. You can also customize the look and feel of the Secure Folder icon.

Add applications to the secure folder

You can add applications to your Safe folder, ensuring that the secure version of the application cannot start without unlocking the folder. To do this, go to the safe folder and click the "Add Applications" button. You can either add an app that already exists on your phone or install a new app from the Google Play Store or Samsung Galaxy Store.

Adding an application that is already on your phone essentially creates another copy of the application on your device with its own cache and saved files. If you copy a messaging application such as WhatsApp, you can sign in to a different account than the secure folder. These applications retain their history and cache even after you exit the secure folder.

This also applies to web browsing. For example, if you install Chrome in the Secure folder, you can keep the history, the and bookmarks stored in the secure app, as opposed to incognito mode.

If you add an app from the Galaxy Store or Play Store, it will only be available in your secure folder. It will not make a copy in the main list of your applications. This is useful for applications that you do not want to appear on your homepage or search.

Move files to the secure folder

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

The first way is to go to My Files or Gallery. Select the desired files and folders using a long press. Then press the menu button with the three dots at the top right and select "Move to safe folder".

You will be asked to verify your identity again using the lock screen and then they will be moved. To access these files, use the My Files or Gallery application in Secure Folder.

You can also go to the safe folder and click the "Add Files" button. So you can choose from either My Files or Image, Video, Audio and Document Explorer. You can then select one or more of the files and click "Finish" at the bottom of the screen to move them to the Secure folder.

You can move your files from the Secure Folder in the same way. In the "My Files" or "Gallery" section in Secure Folder, select the files and click "Move from Secure Folder".
