Google on Wednesday announced the new Safe Folder feature in a blog post, where it mentioned how sharing devices with spouses, siblings, or children is often a cultural experience, especially for women. You will be asked for the PIN every time you open the folder.
The new Files by Google feature will be securely locked as soon as you step away from the app, ensuring that the content you store there cannot be accessed when the app is in the background. The Safe Folder protects your images, videos, audio files and important documents from being accessed by others, Google said. Safe Folder will start rolling out in beta for Files by Google, and will soon be made available to more people in the coming weeks. Users can move any document, file, or media file into the secure location in the app that can only be accessed by a 4-digit PIN code. Google has launched Safe Folder for its Files by Google application, a new feature that will allow users to keep private files locked in a separate, password-locked folder in the app.
