HOW TO RESTORE SECURE FOLDER ON S26U?

[SimpleMachine]

I'm trying to move my Secure Folder from S22U to S26U.

In Secure Folder settings on S22U, it has a "Restore from backup" menu option, but this restore option is not available in S26U Secure Folder Settings menu so I can't use my Samsung account for this operation.

I've tried to use the 'External storage transfer' backup feature in 'Settings > Accounts and backup' on the S22U - I'm able to perform a successful backup to the attached flash drive. On the restore side of things(screenshots) on S26U, I can see the backup file when I plug the flash drive to the S26U. When I select the file, it acts like the restore would begin then it would say "No backup data". 

Any idea what's happening? Secure Folder on 26U has been fully initialized and unlocked while trying this. Same Samsung account logged in on both devices Secure Folder.

It was available for me on my 26 Ultra.

Mine was being weird so I used 'my files' to transfer the folders themselves from one to the other. Using the storage sharing thing. That was being a pain and I think I eventually just archived it as a .7z and quick shared it over. Went into secure folder and tapped add file, and moved it from regular to secured then extracted it. It was convoluted for me.

Wow, convoluted indeed. Glad u finally got it to work

It was an EASY transfer right over using Smartswitch!

Thanks all. What finally worked:

~~~
On your S22, Goto "Reset", click on Temporary Cloud Backup, Back up only Secure Folder upder Apps and let it upload.

On your S26, Goto "Reset", click on Temporary Cloud Backup, then click on Restore.

Not sure why this feature is tucked under Reset but this got the Secure Folder working now!
