What users are saying

1. It's been 4 years now since I've been using my tablet and every time I've tried to set up a secure folder, it keeps saying affortantly secure folder has stopped and I'm unable to use it.

2. For example, I wish there was an option for it to not show notifications at all unless the secure folder was on, and whenever I turned it off the notifications would be removed from the screen and be shown as soon as a turn the folder back on.

3. And it's not the tablet, because my phone is 2 years older and the secure folder works fine.

4. This just happened as yesterday it was working fineMy secure folder is for all the stuff I don't want anyone else to see and it does great with that.

5. Additionally, I want to have all the stuff in my secure folder to be saved on my DD card to free up internal storage but there is only one way to do that...one by one removal and replacing.

6. The password information in the secure file settings on my Samsung device is not working in the app itself.

7. However, if I want to send a pic or vid to my bf, I have to remove it from secure folder, send it, then put it back...that slow, tedious process SUCKS.

8. With the latest update on the Galaxy Note 9 running Oreo 8.1, secure folder doesn't work at all.

9. I plan to now tell them it's garbage.It was working fine, but not as great of an experience as the old knox secure launcher within the phone.

10. I have used the same password since I set up the secure folder.

11. Now, the app says to log into my Samsung account to reset my password, but when I click the sign in button, it goes to a loading screen and will not do anything else.

Steps to Troubleshoot & Fix Secure Folder Issues

1. Fix Secure Folder Not Working/Crashes/Errors/Unresponsive & Black/White screen:


  1. Restart Secure Folder: Restarting the app will resolve most errors.
  2. Update the Secure Folder App. Here is how:
    1. On Android goto PlayStore » Search for "Secure Folder" » Open Secure Folder » click "Update".
    2. On iPhone, goto AppStore » Your profile » Available Updates » Check for Secure Folder » click "UPDATE".
  3. Clear Secure Folder app cache: Clearing cached data will force your app to retrieve the latest data directly from Secure Folder servers.
    1. On Android, goto Settings » Apps » Select "Secure Folder" » click Storage » click "Clear Cache".
  4. Check Secure Folder app permissions. If any of these permissions required to use your device's features are disenabled, Secure Folder might not work.
  5. Uninstall and reinstall Secure Folder. If nothing else has worked, completely uninstall Secure Folder then reinstall.
  6. Restart your device. Last, restarting your device can often clear most problems causing Secure Folder not working


2. Fix Secure Folder Server issues & Internet Connection


  1. Check network connection: An unstable Internet will make Secure Folder be unable to connect to it's servers. Ensure your wi-fi is working then restart app.
  2. Disable VPN: VPN can cause connection errors and lead to Secure Folder not working. Make sure all VPNs are off
  3. Enable background data: When Background data is turned off, Secure Folder may not be able to connect to the Internet when running in the background.
