Secure folder backup is gone on my S22 Ultra. Backup was great because it kept Secure Folder in Sync between my tablet and phone. Now they are not in Sync and it doesn't seem to allow backup of any kind. What if I lose my phone? Switch phones? Want to use the same data on my tablet? Can't do that anymore. Why? That was a huge benefit to Samsung Phones.

We use Smart Switch on a desktop to do backups , including Secure Folder content

Not everyone may have a PC in order to back up the Secure Folder using Smart Switch. BRING BACK NATIVE BACK UP FOR SECURE FOLDER, SAMSUNG!

Open secure folder. Tap "secure folder" at the top of the screen several times til it opens a hidden menu. Enable secure folder backup at the bottom of the screen. Exit. Now you can backup without any issues again.

The settings menu still states that Backup is no longer supported for Secure Folder.

I literally just did it.

1. Open secure folder. Input password.
2. Tap on the text that says "secure folder" multiple times until it opens secret menu.
3. Enable secure folder backup on all devices option
4. Close secret menu
5. Hit three dots
6. Hit settings
7. Hit backup and restore
8. Hit backup secure data
