Need a recommendation for the TF700T. I need an app that locks a folder via password and that will see the microSD card. I want to store some items in a folder on the microSC card that can't be accessed without a passcode. I've tried several folder locking progrms on the AppStore but none see the microSD card. I've tried about a half a dozen "PhotoLocker" apps but they either crash or are very slow and laggy on the Infinity.
Any ideas?
I've tried:
- Hide Pictures in Vaulty (continually crashes)
- iLock Pro (looks perfect but doesn't see the microSD card)
- Gallery Lock (slow and crashes)
- Keep Safe (slow and crashes)
- Private Gallery
... and others I can't find now.
you want to hide photos/videos, or entire folders?

Mostly photos but if there is a cleaner program that does folders then great. The built in image viewer works fine as it's pretty fast so just to lock and unlock and image folder would be great.
I wonder why . It seems to be a weird problem caused by how the SD card is mounted, it isn't the app I don't think in most cases

I am going through this with the samsung galaxy SIII. Great phone but the internal memory is called "sdcard" and the micro sd is called "extSDCard". So many programs are only written to look for "SDCard" and thus don't see or can use the microSD. The program has to be updated. Looks like Asus is doing the same thing but just calling it "SDCard" and "microSDCard" respectively.
There is an interesting article here: http://www.chainfire.eu/articles/113/Is_Google_blocking_apps_writing_to_SD_cards_/

get an app called File Copy. that's what i use. it hides pics and vids. it moves them to a folder that cant be searched and renames the extension. when you decide you want to view them again, it will go back to the way it was. the app has a built in image and video viewer. so although your stuff s hidden, after putting in your password, you can view it in the app.

Hey guys:
I've got tons of comicbooks on my storage card that keeps showing up as individual folders in my picture gallery. I know I could drop a "no media" file in the main folder to stop it, but then my other apps wont read anything in that folder as well correct? Is their any way to exclude the comicbook folder from the gallery?
thanks

call me crazy, but I have a feeling the easiest solution is to create a .nomedia file and put it in the folder you want to hide.... ooooor I could be 100% wrong.

You are crazy ;-) does not work here.
This does not solve your problem, but may be an alternate solution. I use a gallery replacement called QuickPic. Inside of QuickPic you can choose which folders are hidden so you only see the ones you want.

I've heard of QuickPic. But I really like the stock Gallery. And if I put a no media file in that folder,, my comicbook reader apps wont see the files either right?
Actually, all you have to do is rename the folder or file and put a "." at the start of the name. So a folder called "my_pron" renamed ".my_pron" won't show up
It's probably worth noting that you should do the rename on your tab and not from your PC, I had problems with it not working when I did it via my PC, that's why I mention it. I used Astro File manager and it works just fine.

It's a program designed to be more along the lines of hiding naughty things, but it would allow you to move all your comics into a side gallery type section, plus once their there you can subdivide them into their own folders AGAIN so that you have individual comics in mini-galleries, with sorting by name or date possible to make for easy ordering.

Noteworthy item is that with the EI22 update yesterday, my app got wiped with the rest of my phone, but upon re-installing it and going through new-startup steps it found the SD card data from my previous installation - yay SD card!

I have a app similar to this called Hide & Sneek. But I have to unhide pics everytime I need to use it. Will Keep safe allow me to hide the comics just from the Gallery , but let them be used in the Combook reader?

lol. Not worried bout the porn pics. But when I have to scroll through the gallery to find the folders my real pics are in, its kinda annoying. See the attached.
I have both the ASUS Extension Kits - one for USB and the other as an SD Card Reader.
I've tried moving photos from my PC with both kits and the File Manager App with no success. The File Manager somehow corrupts JPG files when using the SD Card Reader and it does not recognize my USB stick.
I can move the photos one or two at a time as an email attachment, but I have several hundred that I'd like to put on the Infinity.
Suggestions? TIA!

A little looking, and I answered my own question. Photo Transfer App works very well wirelessly. I used it on my iPad, and it works well here, too.
Also, there is the wireless option via FTP. I use an old app called SwiFTP. It's no longer developed, but Im sure you can find the apk somewhere. It gives full access to your device and it's FREE! There are other apps like it on the Market as well. I use it whenever I don't feel like grabbing my USB cable.

I'd recommend File Expert. It works through HTTP, so on any computer on the same wifi network with a web browser can get into it provided the user has the correct password. The web page UI for managing files is pretty nice, if a little buggy. Only flaw is that its UI is slow (at least on my Atrix) and not tablet optimized.

Photo Transfer App is also http and works A-OK with no bugs. It will transfer photos or videos in either direction at very good speed. Photos can be batched up to 100 photos, abd videos are done singly. There are both Android and iOS Apps so I can take photos/videos off of my iPad and move them to my TF700.
Even though probably adding a 'solution' to a problem no longer in existence might I add that Total Commander supports both internal and external memory (with root access), (S)FTP, WEBDAV, LAN shares and more, and is still in active development? Also, you would not be limited to transfer of grahical files. (I haven't used specific photo transfer apps yet, so I do not know if they'd provide (a) definite advantage(s). If you think I'm missing out on something, please chime in and release me from my blissful ignorance. )
I've used MyPhoneExplorer for all file transfers. Works over my WIFI network although it will also work over cable.

In your Windows Explorer folder settings / options, there is an option to "show hidden files".
Also, you can view the info of a file or folder on your Android from a file browser.
Posted from my Paranoia Infused Android, now featuring Butter flavored JellyBeans!
do you have a file manager type app? can you see /sdcard/DCIM from that?
there isn't nessesarily a "sdcard/music" folder unless you created one, the media scanner will find music and photos no matter where they are stored. the files would be stored in /sdcard/download if you used the browser to download them, they may also be in folders that are created by apps if you use some mp3 downloader app.
the lack of */DCIM would be odd though. unless you use a 3rd party camera app.
Yeah I use root explorer and I can access it with no problem and on windows I already tried to show hidden files too.
Already tried going to stock.

If they're not hidden, I wonder why they don't show in Windows when the phone is plugged through USB...
Do you have a USB micro SD card reader dongle?
If so, try taking the card out of the phone and plug it directly into your computer.
If the files show, something on the phone (somehow) is messing something up.
If they don't show, there's some sort of issue with the card.

You don't have to use it for the problem to show up. If it is installed it may be affecting it. Also, the .nomedia file is a hidden file so make sure show hidden files is turned on in your file explorer.

.nomedia isn't his problem.
He said everything shows fine when viewed on his phone.
He wants to view the files on his COMPUTER (pc) when the phone is linked with usb and storage mounted.
But those two folders won't show in WINDOWS.
The problem is entirely different from that thread.
Tavitos, have you tried plugging the SD Card directly to the computer with a dongle like I asked?
Posted from my Paranoia Infused Android, now featuring Butter flavored JellyBeans!
Oh I see, sorry. I misunderstood his situation.
That's quite strange though.. something similar has happened to me with my tablet before. Could somehow your usb connection be malfunctioning?
Maybe the cable or the ports?
What rom are you currently running? If the problem persists consider reflashing.

If the computer is popping up a folder at all when you plug it in, it wouldn't be the driver...
So they're on the internal SD?
Hmm... On a whim, take out the External card, boot up your phone, then hook it up to the computer and see if those folders show.

I recently wipe the tablet and done a clean installation of apps. But when I inserted my external hard drive, it add those audio from my pc games into the list. And the same goes to gallery, it's having my old counter strike screenshots. But it's there even if I can't open it without the hard drive. So does anyone knows how to remove this thing?

Adding the file to the root of the drive will disable the whole drive. Subsequently, if you disable one folder, all files and folders in it will be disabled as well!

Hi,
I was on a vacation and used the LG 360 Cam heavily. I was so excited with the pictures & videos I took and tried to download all of them from the cam's microsd and not realize that they were actually downloaded and saved to my internal memory until I got the popup saying that my internal memory is full.
Have been trying to find any setting to change the path to my microsd instead of internal memory but couldn't find one. Already provided my feedback in app store to ask the same thing and also dropped an email to the author but received no response so far.
Is there any of this forum member can advise if we can change the path somehow? Thanks.

Moving the files manually is possible using stock gallery app but only after I downloaded to internal memory. I'm avoiding a condition where my internal memory is full so I can download directly to microsd in my phone.

Yep - figured this out last night. No SD Card support for this app. I'll keep looking.
After leaving the review in playstore I also dropped an email to the developer and received a reply just now telling me that it will be supported in October.. let's see
the app just updated with some new stuff and it mentions something about other storage, and the cam also has an update but i still do not see sd options
it says support adoptable storage for download image/vids

Also Fyi there is a new firmware and app update which seems to have improved the quality of the images a bit as well as introducing an interval meter (timelapse) which is cool in 360 for that I used adobe premiere but the results where great
Hello,
