Gallery to Secure Folder missing

[UnicornDreams]

Where has my option to send a picture to secure folder gone?

Using Samsung Gallery, if you long-press on a picture to select it, then click on More on the bottom toolbar, it is the last option in the resulting menu.

It is showing up for me on my S23. Should be the same on the S24.

Thanks but I only see a option for private album. Maybe I need to disable private album in order to get my secured folder option back.

Here's what I see.

Looks like you have renamed Secure Folder as Private Album. Within Secure Folder, click the three vertical dots at the top right and select Customize. Does the Custom app name show as "private album"? If so, moving the photo to private album in gallery will move the photo to the secure folder.

I opted out of the private gallery feature in Galaxy Labs and disabled it, but my secure folder still isn't showing up in the menu.

Even after turning off the private option in gallery labs, the sf option still didn't come back. I also found another problem when sharing images: the "options" and "share location" settings in the share menu keep reappearing for each share, even if you swipe them off.

I forgot about the private album in gallery labs. I have never used it. Hope it does not affect the secure folder in some way.

Are you able to get into the secure folder? Is the Secure Folder button turned on in the Notification Panel?

[UnicornDreams]

Yeah, I can get into my secure folder, but I can't send images to it anymore. I took secure folder off my quick panel a while back, and it was fine until recently when I realized I couldn't send or share images to it anymore.

Open Google photos (not gallery) , click on the picture you want to add to secure folder, at the bottom, click the "+add to" option and select "locked folder" aka secure folder
