How to use Files to keep files safe on mobile
If you are looking for an option to protect the important files that you save on your mobile, you can take into account the dynamics proposed by Files. Yes, the Google file manager also has a function that allows you to protect important files and keep them away from anyone who takes our mobile.
To use this option you just have to open the app and look for the “Secure Folder” function.
