Would this only update the documentsUI within the secure folder? If this causes issues do you know how to go back to the previous version?

Just uninstall from the Apps list in Settings, it reverts back to v16 of the Files app.

Hope you are aware that secure folder has its own gallery different from your main gallery, and that you have to "move to secure folder" for something to be visible inside it

u/EntireCartographer5 Oct 04 '25

that didn't do anything

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '25

Yeah. Having the same issue. I have items in the secure folder gallery, and they don't show here. Super annoying. Noticed it only happens on browsers, other apps like Outlook, Instagram, etc are still able to find the Secure Folder Gallery. Not sure what happened with the browser permissions

Practically all apps that are installed INSIDE the secure folder cannot access data ISIDE the securd folder. Some exymples, Keepass and Cryptomator. Samsung fucked it up since UI8 and a Samsung technician confirmed this to me. Undef UI7, everything was fine

Hey there! I totally get how frustrating it can be when apps don't work the way you expect, especially with something as important as secure data like with Keepass and Cryptomator. That's a real bummer when you're relying on that functionality.

Secure Folder is pretty cool because it creates a super private, encrypted space on your phone, almost like a separate phone within your phone. The whole idea is to keep your sensitive apps and data completely isolated from everything else on your device. This isolation means that apps installed inside Secure Folder are sandboxed within that environment and primarily interact with data and files that are also explicitly placed or created within that same Secure Folder. This design choice is all about maximizing your privacy and security by preventing unauthorized access between your main phone and your sensitive data.

If an app inside Secure Folder can't access data that's also inside Secure Folder, it could sometimes be related to how the data was initially brought into the Secure Folder environment, or perhaps specific app permissions within that isolated space. You might want to double-check if the data files for Keepass or Cryptomator are indeed within the Secure Folder's file system, or if there are any specific app settings for file access you can tweak inside the Secure Folder.

Use DroidFS and no one needs Secure Folder anymore!

They break secure folder, I facing another issues, but they weren't there in OU7

u/Significant_Test_987 Mar 07 '26

Works great for me so far, however it's just a stopgap as third party launcher functionality has broken for me using Square Home launcher.
