How Locked Folders Work?

• Automatic Protection: When you place documents inside a locked folder, they are automatically protected with the folder password.
• Viewing Documents: To open the folder or any document inside, you must first enter the password.
• Exporting Documents: Any documents exported from a locked folder will also be encrypted with the folder's password, ensuring your files stay secure even when shared.

Forgot Your Password?

• If you forget your folder password, you can unlock the folder using Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcodewhen entering an incorrect password.
