Secure folder: applications within cannot access files (with One UI 8.0)

[Members_B7eDkb7]

After a recent upgrade to One UI 8.0, programs within Secure Folder cannot access files also within Secure Folder. 

In particular, the Secure Folder versions of Snapseed (photo editing), Protonmail, and Discord cannot find secured files.  Google photos, and Samsung Gallery seem unaffected.

Any help?

Can Samsung please update us on their position on this? 

Is it a bug then will be addressed in a forthcoming patch? 

Or is this by design and Samsung have knowingly significantly reduced the functionality of Secure Folder without informing their customers? 

Which of these is Samsung's position?

Things are working as they should? Really? We cannot access any media or files from the secure folder when we want to upload something on a browser. Is that the normal working? Secure folder literally unusable now.

If there is any alternative solutions until the update that will be helpful

Hi, has any further investigation be done? The issue doesn't seem to be resolved

Based on the reply https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Samsung-Apps-and-Services/Secure-folder-applications-within-cann... we will just have to wait until the next update. Hope they fix it properly.

Secure folder is a mess with this update, auto lock was removed, secure folder accounts are visible outside secure folder, apps can't acess the file system..

I've got the same issue across multiple apps in secure folder. The file picker seems to be broken and only has access to files *outside* the secure folder. And Samsung's response to this (a few posts up) is...not great.

Use to have Aegis app and backups in the secure folder now the app is working but I can't backup anymore.

Same issue, I've just bought a Samsung S25+ and this shows on some apps.
