Can Anyone Else See My Private Files?

Vaulty keeps your files hidden from your gallery and casual browsing, behind your PIN, password or disguise. Vaulty also renames the file and, for photos and other non-video files, adds a small marker so they can’t be opened or viewed normally. This isn’t encryption, and it’s easy to undo for someone who knows how. Someone who connects your phone to a computer, or uses a file manager app with full storage access, could still find and copy your files, so the safest protection is keeping your phone itself locked and secure. Backups go to a Vaulty folder in your own Google Drive over a secure HTTPS connection, and Google encrypts files stored in Drive (how Google protects Drive files). Vaulty itself doesn’t encrypt your files, on your phone or in backups, so anyone who can sign in to your Google account can open that folder.
