Hey guys,

I was curious if anyone was interested in developing or porting an application or applet that allowed users to password protect certain files, folders or more importantly photos.

It's a little bothersome when someone nosey picks up your phone and looks at some stuff you'd rather not share with them.

Let me know if anyone has any input. Thanks!

You don't need an app as all the functionality is built into the O/S. Search this forum for 'hide porn'

The easiest thing to do is just rename folders to prefix with a ".", e.g.:
Code:
mv porn .porn
and to get it back:
Code:
mv .porn porn
with the dot in the filename it will not be indexed or accessible from the device in the stock apps. anyone who really knows what they are doing and with some time can find your files - but this is beyond the capacity of most people you'll be lending your phone to?

Yes, hilarious lol..

I'm looking for something that when in file manager or in photos, I can long press the file and one of the options that comes up is 'lock' or something similar. An option in settings could be added to modify the lock code as well as other parameters.
