How we can transfer any kind of documents from knox to normal touchwiz?
Transfer Files Into Knox
This had me beaten for a while.
Two ways to do it ...
Method one -
Upload your files to a cloud server such as Dropbox or Box.
Access that same cloud service using the web-browser while inside knox.
Download the file/s while inside knox and they will then be available in the knox file manager.
Method two -
Connect your samsung device to PC with USB cable.
Copy your files onto device or onto the SD card.
Start knox
Return to personal area.
While in personal area go into 'my files' file manager.
Select file/s so it has the tick in the corner.
Go up to the menu at the top right corner.
Choose 'Move to knox'
Files appear in knox, disappear in personal area.
This works with single or multiple files, but NOT with whole folders.
Hope this helps everyone.
Hi there
On my S6 I've used 'Private Content' mode for certain files and images and could access it easily when I wanted to send it in a message app to somebody or myself.
Now on the S8 it seems the "Private Content" mode is gone and replaced by "Secure Folder" entirely?
And it seems in order to send certain files from Secure Folder I have to first log into the Secure Folder and send files from there. I can't access it from a different app (with unlocking the contents/ files by Pin or Biometrics)?
And final question: When I transferred my files from S6 to S8 the contents/ files from "Private Mode" in S6 haven't been transferred to the S8.
What's the easiest way to send it to the Secure Folder without daisy chaining it too much?
Thanks

Answer 1: secure folder is the new private content and alsoincludes newer security features like unlocking before being able to send the file.
Answer 2: Just zip all your stuff then unzip it in the secure folder?
What's the point of moving apps into Secure Folder if they are still being available in apps outside of Secure Folder? What I can access in Secure Folder I can access via normal means of accessing app. That means I have same app in Secure Folder and same app outside of it, just taking unnecessary space.
What's the point guys? What am I missing?
Hi I just want to ask, I recently notice this since I decided to placed some pictures/videos of my device on the secure folder app of Samsung S8+ however I just notice that even if it is already hidden under secure folder, it still shows up on my phone's Gallery app. Is there any solution to this?
after you put the media files in secure folder, just delete from your galery

Yup. Anything moved to your secure folder needs to be deleted from your device afterwards (if you no longer want it there). Apps that you install directly while inside Secure Folder will only exist inside the Secure Folder.
Secure Folder is a sandbox. Things installed or downloaded while within SF stay there. For instance, install Chrome Dev and a file manager of your choice while in SF. Open SF Chrome, download a few images, then go into the SF file manager. The images you downloaded should be there. Now, leave SF and go to the file manager in the app drawer. Look everywhere for those images you just downloaded. You won't find them. This is because SF is sand boxed. It's basically an encrypted virtual machine running within Touchwiz. The only way to access it is through the Knox Framework.
This is why things moved into Secure Folder from Android remain in 2 places -- they're 2 different environments. The Knox encryption is then what stops you from moving things out of Secure Folder -- the decryption key isn't available in that direction. You can move apps from Secure Folder to your homescreens, but they're still Knox enabled. Try to share a photo in Secure Folder to a contact via SMS and observe how sparse the share sheet is.
Knox is pretty cool.
How can SF be in sandbox but showing contacts on the main contacts app can this be disabled ?
Yes can anyone explain this Secure folder ? Why are my ''secure'' contacts showing in normal contacts ?
I am experiencing the same thing... I don't understand why my "Secure" contacts are showing in my unsecured regular contacts app.
Could it be because of Google sync? If you are signed in with your Google account inside secure folder, contacts may get synced to Google and show up in regular contacts also.
hi friends.
rooting killed the "Samsung secure folder".
i was wondering if i can use an app called "folder lock pro"?
will i get any issues since its rooted?
all i want to do is to place a txt file in a folder (containing all my passwords.)
so what should i do?
did we lose the secure Files/Folders option for good?
thank you.
