Secure Folder Storage Usage Information in Device Care

[izephyr]

Device Care shows the storage usage information in a great way. It is indeed a nice implementation. It also shows the Secure Folder's usage information which is also useful. But the information in the secure folder should be behind the Secure Folder's security setup. For example, if Secure Folder is configured with a password. If a user want to know the usage information of Secure Folder, they must enter the password. In my opinion the Secure Folder storage information should be merged with "Other" category and completely made invisible, making it appear that the Secure Folder does not exist. 

Also, in the Quick Settings Panel, there can be a 'one touch' option to Encrypt/ Decrypt secure Folder making it appear like invisible.

This can prevent if someone is forcibly asking to unlock the secure folder considering the content demographics are visible in the Storage Manager section of the Device Care.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback regarding Secure Folder visibility in the Device Care storage view.

Your suggestion to protect Secure Folder usage details behind authentication—or to optionally hide it completely from the storage breakdown—is a valuable point from a privacy and security perspective. We'll share this idea with the appropriate team for further consideration.

Your additional proposal about introducing a quick toggle to encrypt/decrypt or hide the Secure Folder from the Quick Settings Panel is also appreciated. These kinds of suggestions help us better understand how to strengthen security and privacy features for our users.

Thanks again for taking the time to share this with us.

Best regards,
One UI Beta Team
