## Description

Lock My Folder - Folder Hider is a privacy-focused locker for Android that lets you hide and lock folders, photos, videos, documents, and other files. It works with internal storage and SD cards, and protects access with PIN or fingerprint, while offering stealth mode, intruder selfie capture, and optional alternate app icons to keep your privacy discreet. Built-in media players let you view content without leaving the app, and you can manage, copy, rename, or delete files inside locked folders.

Lock hundreds of files at once with multi-file import, auto-exit on sleep, and one-tap unlock. Share securely and recover passwords via your registered email. If privacy is your priority, Folder Hider provides a private vault to keep sensitive content away from prying eyes.
