Finally, I found a file manager app that is competent! Allows you to search, rename, and organize files into folders while being hidden from all other apps. The native video player feels good too, as does viewing multiple images. I think paying the one time fee is worth it to get rid of the pesky ads. It could use improvement though. For example, I wish we could search specific folders and create folders within folders. It seems the developer(s) cares about the user experience here, thanks!

So far, so good. Mimics the old Samsung secure folder pretty well and isn't too invasive with ads.

I lost my files using this app. I couldn't find and retrieve my hidden files. Very bad application. Luckily I found out by testing it in 5 minutes after installing it.

Too many intrusives adds that cause you to have start over, even when you're already in, going through your folders of pictures.
★★☆☆☆YS Yeung· Jul 6, 2026
No file list view hence displayed file names far too short

Everything you unlock back will be corrupted.
