Private stays private
FileShield is a vault for photos, videos, documents and notes.
Protection from others
The vault closes by itself and never gives itself away.
- Closes when you leave the app and after 2 minutes without touches
- Quick lock: put the phone face down or shake it
- Disguise as a calculator or notes, and a decoy vault behind a separate pattern
Copies in case of loss
Lose the phone, keep the files in a copy.
- An encrypted archive to move to a new phone
- A copy in your own Google Drive that updates itself (Lifetime License)
- Each copy has its own 24-word phrase — save it
The code can't be recovered
We don't keep your code, so without it nobody can open the vault — not even us.
- Remember your PIN or pattern
- Make a copy and keep its phrase away from the phone
- Uninstalling the app also deletes the vault on this phone
Help and questions
What if I forget my code?
The code can’t be recovered: we don’t keep it, and the keys exist only on your phone. Without the code, the vault can only be brought back from a copy — an archive or a Google Drive copy — with its 24-word phrase.
Can the gallery or other apps see my files?
No. Files are stored encrypted inside FileShield; the gallery and other apps don’t see them. Vault camera shots never reach the gallery.
What is a decoy vault?
A second profile with its own files, opened by a separate pattern. If someone forces you to open the app, open this one — the main vault stays hidden. Set it up in Settings → Access protection.
What does the duress pattern do?
It’s a separate pattern that deletes the main vault on this phone and opens the decoy one. The deletion can’t be undone. Requires Lifetime License.
Can I hide the app itself?
Yes: Settings → Application name and icon. Pick an inconspicuous name and icon, such as Calculator. Requires Lifetime License.
How does the Google Drive copy work?
An encrypted copy of the open vault is kept in a hidden FileShield folder in your Google Drive and updates once a day on Wi-Fi while the vault is open. The copy has its own phrase: without it nobody can open the copy — not you, not Google, not us. Requires Lifetime License.
How do I move the vault to a new phone?
Settings → Backup and transfer: save the encrypted archive and its 24-word phrase. On the new phone, install FileShield and choose Import archive with a phrase. Or restore a backup from Google Drive.
What happens if I uninstall the app?
Android deletes the vault on this phone too. Make a copy beforehand: an archive or a Google Drive copy.
What does Lifetime License include?
A one-time purchase, no subscription: no ads and no limits, the Google Drive copy, disguise, the duress pattern, intruder photos and app colors.
How do I remove ads?
Buy Remove Ads or Lifetime License — both are one-time purchases. The unlock screen never shows ads.
