Zone folder, a private file management software, which is very safe and efficient. Users can put photos, videos or files into the Zone folder classification management. Users can turn on recognition of your fingerprint or face when sighing up in order to protect the security of your software and create multiple private spaces to store files you don't want to be known by others. Even if your girlfriend were able to access the software with a password and one of the private Spaces with a gesture password, she would not be able to find the "secret files" hidden in many parallel spaces. Each private space is set up independently and has the gesture password that you know . In order to ensure absolute confidentiality, users can only retrieve the password through the pre-left confidential mailbox. Special function Private space: users can create multiple privte spaces by themselves, and each space can set an independent gesture password that only they know. Users can enter the privacy space arbitrarily through shake. Only you know how much privacy you have, and even if your best friend or girlfriend knows one of them, they can't really find out about your privacy! Other functions of the software - new folder - private space creation and management - to import or restore private files (photos, video, files, others) - file operation (rename, hide, move, copy, delete, search) - file type browsing - the protection of fingerprint password -the protection of gesture password - sharing and importing of the third party software including photos, QQ or DingTalk and so on.
