This article explains what Secure Folder is on a Samsung Galaxy device and how to set it up.

The Samsung Secure Folder is an advanced security feature that keeps sensitive information safe from prying eyes, whether that’s someone stealing your phone or a malicious attack. It uses the Samsung Knox security platform to encrypt a folder. Inside the folder, you can store things like videos, images, apps, and other data that you want to keep private. You can add a passcode or biometric lock to keep the contents safe.

While anyone can use Secure Folder, it’s especially useful for those who want to use their personal phone as a work phone. Keep the information you want separate from the rest of the phone in your Secure Folder. Once set up, all you need to do is unlock the folder with your passcode or finger to access your files.

Secure Folder can also be a form of parental control for parents with young children. Parents can give their children their smartphones to play games, while preventing them from accessing certain apps or accidentally deleting important information.
