The latest update of 30 Jan 2020 is creating s problem. The app closes automatically after login credentials are entered
Awesome! The best application there is. And moreover no ads.... I loved it a lot....
Does not work, I can't view the encrypted files
makes life easier and secure - thanks
Unstable app .pop ups with back history and poor UI
Very nice tool. I use it pretty much daily to manage my files and cloud storage. Brings things together, making simple file management tasks easy.
The passphrase gets confirmed even without confirming . If encryption key is used still able to delete with out warning , also not asking for passphrase when decrypting
Recently installed and seems to work, but early days yet time will tell. However, first problem encountered is that the app is unable to access the external SD card on a mobile running Android 6.
I have some encrypted files with the key stored in the app. One of them is an image. Then, when I used a file manager and requested this app to view the image, it opened the image and requested for the app password. I just hit cancel and the image, which was already opened in the back, showed completely. I don't think this was supposed to happen. I think the files should only be opened upon confirmation of the password. Please contact me for further information, if necessary.
Keys just lost, out in the blue! Can't decrypt my files! Please suggest a good option to recover the files urgently
Needs a lot of work. Kind of pointless if on an Android device, it can Encrypt a File yet is unable to Decrypt it (eg a Keepass File), one has to go to PC to Decrypt which is very strange indeed! ALSO. From cloud, it has to take a copy of the file and decrypt and can't do it on the fly. ALSO no way of knowing what files are encrypted. Manual is also terrible. Requires too much thought and more a dangerous app (not know what is encrypted) than useful, Will revisit in 6 months. Lots of work needed.
Was 5 stars until the latest Android update (Marshmallow) now it won't open.
You will get five stars when it suits the real workplace its meant for by allowing OneDrive for Business
Will not open on Android 6.
Works perfect with our owncloud
Linked google drive and Microsoft onedrive very easily. Big plus there. I'll update when I try other cloud services.
Not what I expected from Sophos. Unintuitive user interface. Does not seem to download from cloud to local storage (wants to open every time, even if there is no app). Does not do seamless encryption when storing to the cloud. It seems you have to encrypt locally then upload. Cannot see the point of this app.
Seamless with SafeGuard
Possibly the longest and most unintelligible EULA in Play Store. I am used to reading this stuff but this defeated me. Could not accept a contract that appears to contain obligations to pay unspecified amounts under unclear circumstances. I'm sure it's innocuous but your lawyer needs shaking by the neck. Gave up & uninstalled.
Gave up before installing.
Excellent application that allows me to secure documents and store them in my cloud account. Love the fact it works across all my devices whether it's my I pad, Mac, pc or galaxy tab.
:/ unclear how to work this app fix unistall
It does the job
I like the app, as it gives me access to my encrypted files stored in the cloud. Usability is similar to most cloud storage vendors, so no hassle. And I can take files offline, which is a big benefit, if I read my docs in the airplane.
I had hoped that this was an app that would read files encrypted on the desktop and stored on Dropbox - and so would be pretty neat. However, after trying for several hours, it now seems apparent that it doesn't work with any files that are encrypted with their free desktop software - only the "paid for" systems. So advertising this as a "free" app seems a bit dubious - it appears to me that they are just using Google Play as a way of distributing software to their corporate customers.
Installed the app on my moto g, it acted like it was going to work then froze up
Very simple but sofiaticated at the same time. The app allows you to take pictures,creat folders, creat and edit txt files, and password. you can encrypt all your files with sha-256 encryption,enable AppLock for this app so no one can access the app or |modifi the files|, after you log in files could be seen but not opend or editid, provide protection against filming or screenshoting in the app also check all links atd... fromy expirience no proble with any bug's or feeling slowed down.😄👍
