Hello,

I know this has prob. been asked many times before, sorry. Is there an app to hide files? Pics, vids, docs? I see HideNseek, but is this the only one? I see the last few reviews aren't good.

Easiest way to hide files is create a folder on your SD card and title it something random with a period in front of the name. none of the files will show up in the gallery and the only way to access the info is to go in through a file manager.

I gave in and got the HideNseek app before I read the period in front of the name trick. Thought I can risk .99 cents, hahahaha. So far it works, and it looks like it does Force Close, but only when I'm trying to access the app while the phone is connected to my PC.

Thanks

Remember you have a day to get yourself a refund. Just go to the Market, and go to your downloads and select Uninstall & Refund. ;)

Create a file called ".nomedia" (MINUS THE QUOTES) inside the folder and it will prevent the folder from being cached and displayed. Simple as that.
