Question Es file explorer help/file transfer

[claytonbigsby24]

Okay so I have a device with es explorer it has a password and I lost it. I want to transfer files to this device. I cannot connect to the internet with the device and it's running android 8.1. And the adb is off and can't turn it on in settings is there anything I can do please help me.

Most devices removed remote unlock options (Samsung being the latest with their new app update), but even then that would only work if you had a working data connection on the device. Unfortunately, without providing the correct lockscreen login credentials, there is no way to access the phone or its contents (this is by design... Security, you see).

Welcome to Android Central! You want to transfer files to the device whose password you lost? Or do you mean you want to transfer files from it, since you presumably can't access it any more due to not remembering the password?

You can still remotely unlock your device on Samsung needs to be enabled on the device with an app called" find "
Go to the website and log in with your Samsung or Google credentials

You can lock now, but not unlock. It's weird, I could have sworn the S24 asked me if I wanted to be able to unlock remotely (on Secure Folder at least), but then BOOM! New app, new options, no unlock.

Haven't tried I'll have to test this from my Fold 5 , one thing they eliminated or didn't see is backing up.?

Yup, back up is now only available for the 'main' phone, not Secure Folder (cloud at least, but you can still restore from it if you have a previous back up, and you can still do it with Smart Switch when getting a new phone).

Just checked, you can RESET the lock credentials remotely, but not unlock.

They stripped this feature

I guess it makes sense now that Secure Folder is on-device encrypted?

I don't use secure folder , do you?

 

[mustang7757]

Secure folder just additional place to lock your things everything still works through Samsung Knox platform

I think Samsung dropped the Secure Folder cloud backup in 2021. The last backup I have was from the Note20U. Nothing from the s22U. Fortunately, Smart Switch PC still backs it up, but that doesn't help if you need it remotely.

I probably should delete the old Note20U backup from the cloud.

I'm not sure when they dropped it
