Hi,

Just bought a UK OnePlus 5.

Looking all over the internet and Youtube for instructions on how to drop pics/docs into Secure Box.. Like most searches, everything else comes up apart from what you are searching for. Sammie Note 4 was so easy with Private Mode- this seems more complicated.

Thanks

Secure box is in the My Files folder.
Any pic taken will go there- long press the pic, touch hamburger three dots, then touch Set as Secure.
Open Secure box, type in password and there it is. Soon as you leave the folder, it resets, so password is required again to open. With Samsung Note 4, you had to either turn off Private mode physically or it would turn off when you stopped using it or closed it down.

Is 'Secure Box' some third-party app or service, because I don't think that's a stock feature in OnePlus phones. Private mode is a feature that only Samsung devices have, and is proprietary to them AFAIK.
