Great way of getting photos off of the cloud and onto your local storage too (locking photos moves them from the cloud and secures them on your device)
Wanted to ask how can you access these files when you're viewing Google Photos on your Desktop PC? No lock pattern on a desktop..so how will you access them? Now, realizing these locked files won't be available on the cloud/Google Photos. So what's the point? No way to keep them online, just locked under a password?

Figured out this problem. Open the camera app, on the upper right hand corner there should be a folder icon. Select then you should see the Locked Folder option. If you don't have that set up it will redirect you to set it up.
What about Google Photos web interface? How do we access and move the same photos via web interface(desktop or laptop computers)? Please update with a reply.
I think i cover this in the video, but I'll need you to send me a message in the android support thread I have for channel members here - czcams.com/channels/nowc_KHgjVNj3Y-E-oQ8aw.htmljoin if you want me to help troubleshoot this issue with you
When I was using pixel 4 that time I have moved some pictures to the locked folder. Then now I switched to my pixel 4xl And I didn't get my locked folder images . Please help me out of this 😌
Locked folder images need to be manually moved to the new device. They won't be part of the backup or device switch. Move them out of locked folder. They will be backed up in cloud then in new device move them back to locked folder.

But what if I also need to have this image backed in the cloud just have a lock on it? No option to secure it within Google Photos cloud as well?
@@eladbari right, you'd need to upload it again to have an extra copy in the cloud
What if I wish to reset my device!
i dont have the locked folder option on my pixel 6?
i wanna ask i just delete my google photos then there is no locked folder option how is it gonna show up?
Never used pixel before, is this new feature as easy to use as samsung's secure folder? Can this be used with fingerprint security?
it does seem to be very easy to use
I used the option to move a photo from the locked folder but it didn't tell me where it moved it to. Any idea where it went?
Find the "utilities" little tab and click on it and it will pop up some other tabs and just scroll down a bit and there it will say "locked folder"
Can you arrange locked photos in albums?
Thank you so much
Thanks
Suppose locked folder images deleted can't receive backup

If you delete the app the locked folder images are gone forever. It's great for security.
Wish I never did this
Assuming you have not dismissed this.... But you never explained how to get the locker folder option if you delete it????
for real
Figured out this problem. Open the camera app, on the upper right hand corner there should be a folder icon. Select then you should see the Locked Folder option. If you don't have that set up it will redirect you to set it up.
Can you create multiple sub folders in the locked folder??
I don't think so. at least not at this time
What about Google Photos web interface? How do we access and move the same photos via web interface(desktop or laptop computers)? Please update with a reply.
It's not stored in the cloud so it won't show up in web interface.
I didn't get it set up lock folder 😞But it want it can You help me please ??

Helpfull 😍😍😍
cons and pros of using this vs mega or dropbox?
I lost all the photos in the lock folder after reinstall. Great job 👍🏾
Can i download apps inside this folder? Because in Samsung i can download a second separated What'sapp.
no, this is only for images sadly
Kind of useless when it leaves the cloud :(
So there's no way to take a picture directly into the locked folder? Meaning it has to pass through Google servers first?😂
When I was using pixel 4 that time I have moved some pictures to the locked folder.
Then now I switched to my pixel 4xl
And I didn't get my locked folder images .
Please help me out of this 😌
Locked folder images need to be manually moved to the new device. They won't be part of the backup or device switch.
Move them out of locked folder. They will be backed up in cloud then in new device move them back to locked folder.
@Tony Camaj yes by choosing move out of locked folder.
