We will be
starting this episode with a simple trick that we can use on our android mobile
phones. In this trick we will be talking about a simple way that we can use in hiding
our files and folders on our android mobile phones. Let’s begin.
Let’s start
with a little background knowledge. There are files and folders on our phones
that we cannot view or see in our default folder view mode, it is because these
files are hidden, we can only see these folders when we enable “show hidden
files” in our folder settings/option, these files are usually systems files or
folders and are not directly for our use they are used and access by the phones
operating system.
One thing to
keep in mind here is that these files (hidden files) that are contained here
will not show up in the gallery or show up in any default searches and such are
hidden from normal view.
This will be
interesting and useful to you if you have some files that you want to hide and
remove from the default view of others, there is a simple way that we can hide
these files, lets show these in simple steps.
STEPS >>>
1. Go to your folder and enable in your options “show hidden files” these will enable
you to see all the hidden files or folders.
2. Create a folder and name it whatever name you like, then
move all the files or folder that you want hidden and paste them in this
folder.
3. After that rename the folder name but this time around
start the name with a “dot” like
this “.nameoffolder”
4. When you are done with this, go to your folder options and
unchecked the “show hidden files”
box.
You will
noticed immediately that the folder you just created will be hidden with the
rest of the other folders that by default are hidden.
To check that
this folder is totally hidden, you can check for the pictures you have added to
this folder in the gallery, and you will notice that you cannot find them there.
This option
is very easy and can be very useful to avoid preying eyes on your important and
personal files, but be prudent enough to avoid doing this on someone else phone
to avoid causing unnecessary troubles.
If you want
to view your files you can simple enable the “show hidden folder” option and
have access to the files and folders that were placed in there before.
