Why is it I have to open secure folder app everytime just to add something in it

[Reaper22002]

If I want to add lets say a file in secure folder, the secure folder option doesn't display in the drop down menu unless I open the secure app first ..On my z fold an flip 7 . So annoying

It's a new security policy for secure folder that you must be signed in to secure folder before you can add anything to it. And I don't believe there's any work around for it.

I was struggling with this issue and the solution was to go into secure folder settings and make sure you choose Allow background activity while locked.

This solved the issue of the move to secure folder not being available

Yeah I was about to say that wasn't normal since, I never have to enter my pin to add stuff to my secure folder.
