Secure Folder

Privacy for your personal phone

Secure Folder creates a private, encrypted space on your Samsung Galaxy smartphone by leveraging the defense-grade Samsung Knox security platform.

Separate and secure confidential data

Create a secure space on your device to encrypt and store your private data and apps. Data on commonly used native apps can easily be moved to Secure Folder by selecting ‘Add to Secure Folder’ from their menus.
 
Apps and data in Secure Folder are sandboxed separately on the device and gain an additional layer of security and privacy, thus further protecting them from malicious attacks.

Clone your favorite apps

Make copies of your favorite apps and easily access them via alternate profiles. You can manage content for each profile independently and effectively, as they stay separate and distinct.

Back up your files in the cloud

Secure Folder features a cloud-based backup and restore, which provides users with an easy migration option when switching devices. Follow step-by-step screens to setup quickly and easily.

For your eyes only

Secure Folder leverages the defense-grade Samsung Knox security platform to keep your private files hidden in plain sight. To access and manage Secure Folder, users must use an authenticated method such as PIN, pattern, passcode or biometric verification such as fingerprint authentication.
