We seriously cannot live without them for a single day. These devices are not just used for making calls and sending messages. They are also used for entertainment.Mobile phones have also became as a storage device, where we can store our files like documents, images, videos and audios. There are many uses of this little device.</div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Many people store their important documents, images, music and videos on their mobile phones. Some of the files can be very private and not to be accessed by others. We want to keep them private hidden from others. In Android, when you store images and videos on your SD card, it scans all the files and displays your images and videos in Gallery application. The problem is they can be easily viewed from there.</div><h2 style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">How to Hide Files and Folders in Android :</h2><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Now what can you do to hide your files and folders from others. Today I will show you four methods to do this. First three methods doesn’t need any software. Fourth method is by using third party applications.</div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Almost all the android phones comes with an inbuilt file manager. But the file manager that comes inbuilt has only basic functionality. Some phones have some additional file managers like X-plore, ES File Explorer or My Files. They have more features.</div><h2 style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Method 1 :</h2><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Open any file manager like I have mentioned above. If you don’t have, I will give links to download them from play store.</div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Download <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.2s ease-out, background 0.5s ease-in; background: transparent; border-bottom-left-radius: 3px; border-bottom-right-radius: 3px; border-top-left-radius: 3px; border-top-right-radius: 3px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #d7462c; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.2s ease-out, background 0.5s ease-in; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="X-plore">X-plore</a></div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Download <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.2s ease-out, background 0.5s ease-in; background: transparent; border-bottom-left-radius: 3px; border-bottom-right-radius: 3px; border-top-left-radius: 3px; border-top-right-radius: 3px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #d7462c; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.2s ease-out, background 0.5s ease-in; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="ES File Explorer">ES File Explorer</a></div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Download <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.metago.astro" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.2s ease-out, background 0.5s ease-in; background: transparent; border-bottom-left-radius: 3px; border-bottom-right-radius: 3px; border-top-left-radius: 3px; border-top-right-radius: 3px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #d7462c; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.2s ease-out, background 0.5s ease-in; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="Astro File Manager">Astro File Manager</a></div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">After opening the file manager, Go to the folder you want to hide. Just long tap the folder and select Rename option. Add a dot (.) before the folder name. For example, if the name of the folder is Videos, just rename it to .videos and click OK. Your folder is hidden. And you won’t be able to see it in Gallery application. By default all the folders starting with dot will be hidden in android. So to view them, you have to go to File manager’s settings and select the option to Show Hidden Files. This option may be different in different file manager. To unhide the folder, just remove the dot from the folder. Now it will be shown in Gallery.</div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Note that this trick works only on folders not files. If you want to hide files, then create a folder and copy all your private files in it and follow the method.</div><h2 style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Method 2 :</h2><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">The second method is also very simple. Just go to the folder which you want to hide. Open the folder and create a new text file<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></strong>. Leave the file empty. Do not write anything. Save it with the name as <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">.nomedia</strong><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></strong></div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">If you do not know how to do this, just download the .nomedia file from below link and place it in the folder which you want to hide.</div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3_Rql1jiI4IT2Q0aTdhY25yem8/edit" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.2s ease-out, background 0.5s ease-in; background: transparent; border-bottom-left-radius: 3px; border-bottom-right-radius: 3px; border-top-left-radius: 3px; border-top-right-radius: 3px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #d7462c; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.2s ease-out, background 0.5s ease-in; vertical-align: baseline;">Download No media File</a></div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">A .nomedia is a blank file which is generally placed inside a folder to hide its contents in gallery. Android scans all the folders and when it finds a .nomedia file in a folder, it doesn’t scan that folder and the contents like images, audio and video is not shown in the gallery application.</div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">In this method the folder is not hidden but the contents are hidden in gallery. But in previous method the whole folder disappears. And this trick is not for files, it works only on folders. So as you have done in previous method, just copy all your private files in a folder and copy the .nomedia file in that folder.</div><h2 style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Method 3 :</h2><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">This is the method which I generally follow. It is as simple as ABC. You just rename the file with an extension which your android phone cannot open. For example if you android file doesn’t recognize .zip extension then you can use the method. Just rename the file with .zip extension. If there is an image file with name mypic.jpeg, then rename it to mypic.zip and move it to a different folder to see the effect. If there is a video file with name myvideo.mp4 then rename it to myvideo.zip</div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Note that this trick is for only files and not for folders. And also note that files are not hidden, they are just not shown in gallery application.</div><h2 style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Method 4 (Using Third Party Applications) :</h2><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Third method is to hide files and folders using third party applications. There are lots of android apps available in Play Store which are used to hide files and folders with a password. You can use them if you want a full protection and if you are afraid that the above tricks might be known to others and they can view your files.</div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">You can download your favorite folder locking application from play store by clicking the below link :</div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="https://play.google.com/store/search?q=folder+lock&c=apps" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.2s ease-out, background 0.5s ease-in; background: transparent; border-bottom-left-radius: 3px; border-bottom-right-radius: 3px; border-top-left-radius: 3px; border-top-right-radius: 3px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #d7462c; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.2s ease-out, background 0.5s ease-in; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="Folder Lock Applications on Play Store">Folder Lock Applications on Play Store</a></div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">You can follow any of the above four methods to hide your files and folders in android phone.</div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: rgb(103, 155, 195); border: 1px solid rgb(42, 85, 128); box-sizing: border-box; color: white; margin: 0px 3px 0px 0px; padding: 2px 6px; vertical-align: baseline;">Note :</span></div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">1. If you are seeing the hidden files in gallery after following the above method, then just move the folder to other location and then move it back to the same location.</div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">2. In third method, you can use any extension that is not recognized by your android phone.</div><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Hope you liked the trick.

The types of attacks include <strong>money scams</strong> through direct or indirect requests via Facebook messages, chat etc, <strong>phishing links</strong> that will redirect you to fake websites,<strong>malicious links</strong> that could retrieve your personal information or even harm your computer. There are also chances you may receive emails from ‘Facebook’ but it is actually from a phishing website, this modus operandi is part of a scam.</div><div class="sw" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.65em; margin-bottom: 1.8em; margin-top: 0.55em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="Facebook Security" height="300" src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/keep-hackers-off-fb-account/safe-fb.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" width="500" /></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.15em; line-height: 1.65em; margin-bottom: 1.8em; margin-top: 0.55em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">There are many ways you can avoid being a victim:</div><ol style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 30px 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.15em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.65em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.65em; margin-bottom: 1.8em; margin-top: 0.55em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Never click on suspicious links whenever or wherever you find it, even if it came from your friends. If you receive a link, always take the extra step of asking your friend what the link is to confirm that they had sent it. Usually these links are ‘sent’ without the sender’s knowledge.

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: 'Old Standard TT', serif; font-size: 20px;">Android introduces a cool new feature to ensure protection of private data to it's users by Pattern Lock technique. It is a unique thinking , other than remembering or setting difficult combination of password characters whether in numeric or alphabetic form. Pattern lock provides a huge set of patterns to choose from. User may set any unique and different pattern according to their wish anytime.</span><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIf0Q8KaOt_h6VM2tHX5tPxuPdEpHMI9MYnEn9ksgrUV6SuWa0GsM-GJPPZcSyWT4BkGb8EKE_04s5MO0RrlqtgHBhm6fjziYS5T0BXZB0s5b1oe7RlZx2a7uihKLQQsIuKANM7wXkNAM/s1600/fida+Hacker+Bypass+Android+Lock+Pattern.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="bypass android pattern" border="0" height="206" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIf0Q8KaOt_h6VM2tHX5tPxuPdEpHMI9MYnEn9ksgrUV6SuWa0GsM-GJPPZcSyWT4BkGb8EKE_04s5MO0RrlqtgHBhm6fjziYS5T0BXZB0s5b1oe7RlZx2a7uihKLQQsIuKANM7wXkNAM/s1600/fida+Hacker+Bypass+Android+Lock+Pattern.jpg" title="bypass android pattern" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">bypass android pattern</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: 'Old Standard TT', serif; font-size: 20px;">With advantage of locking screen using this unique way , there is also a problem that sometimes many of android users have to face i.e. what if they forget the pattern they had used to lock their device or try to unlock it with wrong pattern number of times that turned device to get locked permanently ? If you stuck in such problem so dont worry there are three methods to unlock your device.</span><br /><div><span style="font-family: Old Standard TT, serif;"><span style="font-size: 20px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Old Standard TT', serif; font-size: 20px;">Method 1.

So if you have entered wrong pattern for 5 times and then if it is showing you the Forgot Lock Pattern option, then you can login through your Google account and bypass the lock pattern system on your device.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Old Standard TT', serif; font-size: 20px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Old Standard TT', serif; font-size: 20px;">Method 2.

As this method includes use of command lines , so it is not that user friendly but it is the most effective way for sure.
