App that can password photos?
Is there any good apps that works well where you can password your photos or even better any media file?

Vaulty was the only one I found that actually encrypts the files.
Most of the others just hide them in folders that anyone can find on the phone. |

![]() None of this will be any use if you are wanting password security for your files. Sorry if ANY of this is patronizing, just needed to make it as simple as possible. I use quick pic for my pictures, you can "hide folders & also password protect hidden folders & it's a beautiful small app. |

it depends how much security you want.
if you want to bury them beyond a sophisticated attack you need encryption. but if you just want your mates to not see topless pics of your girlfriend or your mom to not see your porn.... there's a few things you can do. if you drop a file called .nomedia in a folder the gallery will ignore that folder. it's intended for say if an app has some graphics files. quickpic is an excellent gallery app and can hide files/folders. |

For now i think ill go the .nomedia way,Have you got that right though where you can name the file .nomedia or does the folder have to be named .nomedia
Cheers everyone with the help. |

You can just save a text file and rename it in your file manager.
Or copy an existing one. |

Yep now sorted,Can you put a picture viewer inside the folder so if i want to view the pictures by sliding the screen then i can load them in there. Or is Quickpick the only option if i want to view the pictures by sliding the screen.
