I have the app. Where do I start?
- First, read the disclaimers below and acknowledge that this app is to be used as a temporary encrypted data store
- Start by encrypting a file on the "Encrypt" tab. The file can be JSON or any other text file. Give it a password and press "Encrypt."
- Once it is encrypted, you may use the "Decrypt" tab to perform the decryptions going forward. The decryption process is similar and will only select files that you've previously encrypted.
- Explore the options in the menu button (top-right) as well.
- The app will timeout and lock after a period of idling.
-
Where are the encrypted files located?
Newer versions of Android sequester app-specific files to an isolated folder on your device. Files are inaccessible from other apps.
-
Why can't you delete the original file?
This requires additional privileges and privacy concerns. There are use cases where the user may want to keep the original file.
