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.

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one 😂

And we are not alone, someone reported a similar issue with Keepass: https://github.com/PhilippC/keepass2android/issues/3022

Hi! Me too! I can confirm this issue too in WhatsApp when opening the "Share File" option in a chat, which is distinct from "Share Photo/Video". This happens on my S25+ after updating to One UI 8, and on my S25 Ultra too.

Needless to say, this, to me, is frustrating. I have to use Secure Folder for my work, which involves managing private credentials and the sensitive data of my clients; this completely disrupts my workflow when using KeePass, as an example 😮‍💨😞

Hi! Just to add: Obsidian has the same problem, this Secure Folder bug virtually making it unusable when setting it up inside with the "Device Storage" option which allows its files to be read by other apps.

This is frustrating.

I've got the same issue across multiple apps in secure folder. The file picker seems to be broken and only has access to files *outside* the secure folder.

I have the same issue when trying to open a database on sync.com from within Keepass, both installed only in Secure Folder. The sync folder does not show up (since the app is installed only in Secure Folder) and only the files on the device outside the Secure Folder show up in System File Picker. I was trying to figure out what was going on and am glad that the search led me to this page.

Similar issue was reported in anther post and Samsung's reply is not at all reassuring. Hope it gets fixed soon.

Samsung just pulled the One UI 8 update for S23 series for unstated reasons. Wish I had waited before updating. Hope this mess gets fixed in the next release.

Wish I had known this sooner and not updated. I literally just got the update yesterday and now dealing with this 😭

This is still going on with not a word from Samsung?

There was a reply in another thread to a members app report.
