Guys is the secure folder end to end encrypted? I can't find any info saying the data you backup is also end to end encrypted on samsung's servers, as for Google i feel like Google has access to it as well, so if I udnerstand correctly, who exactly is it  meant to keep your content safe from, like banking etc...

Hackers? Companies? Governments???? Random people using your phone all of them? I'm jdut a little confused. Even sk what happens if you get a virus in it by accident

Hi, Secure Folder creates a private, encrypted space on your Samsung Galaxy smartphone by leveraging the defense-grade Samsung Knox security platform. Apps and data in Secure Folder are sandboxed separately on the device and gain an additional layer of security and privacy, thus further protecting them from malicious attacks. Secure Folder leverages the defense-grade Samsung Knox security platform to keep your private files hidden in plain sight. To access and manage Secure Folder, users must use an authenticated method such as PIN, pattern, passcode, or biometric verification such as fingerprint authentication.

Hi, Yes, for Samsung, security is a central part of our process. We’ve spent years perfecting our Knox security platform to provide the privacy you can trust in an uncertain world filled with looming threats and security breaches. Our mobile devices are designed with defense-grade security from the chip up, so your device is secured by Knox from the moment you first turn it on. We’re constantly innovating to meet the challenges of the future head-on.

So it is then? That's pretty cool, does that mean I could use it for my baking safely?
