One ui 8 Secure folder bug

[triplej16]

After upgrading to one UI 8 when I try to share files from inside discord inside the secure folder it no longer shows secure folder storage it only shows regular storage. As a result you can't share anything that is stored inside secure folder inside secure folder apps.

Think i saw simular issue or same maybe do search at top you might find it that way see if that helps

No. Searching in recents just shows regular internal storage media.

Before you could access secure folder variant of gallery, my files, etc.

Now it has completely gone and only allows you to share regular storage items within the secure folder

Ok my bad let me see what I can find

As you can see, the side panel doesn't show the secure version of the apps, nor does recents show anything. My suspicion is that some permission scope has been bugged out after the OS update. I tried clearing cache and resetting permissions too.

Gotcha thinking check the galaxy store in had few that needed update after getting ui8 not sure i recall seeing secure folder maybe did on its own also thinking clear cache

Found cloud syncing and photos mentioned but not discord

Yeah very interesting issue, but this is completely making discord within secure folder unusable when media has to be shared.

For the time being the only solution I found was to go to my files manually, select the media there and share through discord. A bit tedious but a workaround would help a lot and restore the fluidity that was there before.

Small step to fix at moment until gets figured out

I have the same issue e.g. when trying to choose a picture to upload on a website. I encountered this with Firefox and Vivaldi. Everytime I click on any upload button on a web page, the only choice I get is "Pictures" and choosing this, I only see the "normal" files.

Now I installed the Samsung Internet browser and here I get the choice between "Camera", "Files" and "Pictures". Choosing pictures, I still see only the normal files again, but when I choose "Files", I see the Secure Folder files and can browse the whole file structure.
