How to Create a Safe Folder to Lock Files on Motorola Android Phone (Best Method)
The best method to create a safe, locked folder for files and pictures on a modern Motorola Android phone is by using the Safe folder feature built into the Files by Google app.
This feature is available on almost all current Android devices, including Motorola, and securely locks the files behind a PIN or pattern, separate from your main screen lock.
Here is the step-by-step guide:
Method 1: Using the Safe folder in Files by Google (Recommended)
The "Files by Google" app comes pre-installed on Motorola phones and provides a secure, PIN-protected storage area.
Step 1: Set up the Safe folder
Open the Files by Google app on your Motorola phone.
Scroll down to the Collections section.
Tap on Safe folder (or Secure folder).
You will be prompted to choose a lock type: PIN or Pattern. Choose one and set it up.
Important: Remember this PIN/Pattern. If you forget it, you will lose access to all the files stored inside, as there is no recovery option.
Step 2: Move files into the Safe folder
In the Files by Google app, navigate to the folder where your photos or files are currently stored (e.g., Images, Downloads, Documents).
Select the files you want to lock:
Tap and hold the first file.
Tap any other files you want to select.
Tap the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner.
Select Move to Safe folder.
Enter the PIN or Pattern you set in Step 1 to confirm the move.
The files will now disappear from their original location and be securely stored in the Safe folder, accessible only after entering the PIN/Pattern.
