Great Concept, but missing MAJOR features make it hard to recommend! 👎🏻
Secure Files does a lot of things right, which is why it’s frustrating that a few missing features hold it back from being a truly great app.
First, the positives:
The app is very easy to use, even for someone who isn’t super tech savvy. The price is also hard to beat compared to most similar apps in the App Store. One of my favorite features is the ability to assign unique passwords to individual folders, which adds an extra level of privacy and organization. The ability to transfer photos, videos, and PDFs into the app is also extremely useful and works well overall.
That said, there are several flaws that really need attention.
The biggest issue is not being able to rename a folder or create/change a password for a folder after it’s already been created. That feels like a basic feature that should absolutely exist, and it seems like it would be a simple fix for the developers to implement.
I’ve also noticed that when transferring multiple files or images at once, the app occasionally seems to miss some items. When moving large batches of files, it becomes frustrating having to manually compare what transferred versus what didn’t.
Another feature that’s surprisingly missing is the ability to move files or images from one folder to another within the app itself. That would make organization much easier and feels like a major missed opportunity.
I genuinely want to rate this app higher because the foundation is solid, but there are just too many flaws and missing quality-of-life features for me to give it more than 3 stars right now. If these issues get fixed or added in a future update, I’d definitely consider updating my review.

Все работает как надо
Lost files, BEWARE
Files do not copy device to device when you migrate phones and I have now completely lost access to my crypto wallet. The folder is NOT good for storage of personal files you are worried about losing. It should at least copy the files internally when the app is directly migrated phone to phone, but it doesn’t.

The Kittens!!
It is a good program for storing files though retrieving them is a bit of a quandary. But the kittens make it 5 star!!!!
A backup feature would be nice as well…..

Works
It does what I wanted.
Does not work for files other than pics & videos
The app details say you can encrypt files, however it only supports pictures and videos.
Great app
This is a great clean fast app, that I’m able to keep my pictures and videos safe, I really love this app and highly recommend it, the only new feature I would like to see in this app,… is to have the option when you’re transferring your picture from your photo album to this app to have the auto function to automatically delete from your photo album,.. this way I don’t have to be going back-and-forth back-and-forth transfer-delete transfer-delete ,.. just a thought, otherwise it’s a great app I highly recommend it to everyone that wants to keep their some of your photos private.

Can’t Move Files
This app is stable, clean, and seems to encrypt reasonably fast. That makes it better than most apps in this category (offline encrypted storage. I’m grateful to find an app for encrypting files that doesn’t have any online features. Unfortunately it’s not very useful to me because there’s no way to move files, as far as I can tell.

Great App
Serves the purpose of securing both photos and videos for my needs and it is easy to use
HORRIBLE
No instructions regarding how to add files. Totally useless.
Work as expected
Very good app to keep files private
Прекрасное приложение.
Верю что будет ещё лучше. Но и так нравится.
Exactly what I was looking for!
Exactly what I was looking for. Encrypts my files, I can create folders. Well structured and no unneeded graphic overload.
I almost forgot the best, check out the kittens feature on the settings page! I just love to see devs enjoy coding their apps!
Recent update made the app even faster.
