Hi,
Please help. Unable to retrieve files (*.JPG) after move to KNOX for files in .HIDE folder. Thanks
 
this happened to me as well. my files from samsung knox are missing. I can move new files to and from samsung knox, but the files that were previously there is all missing. most of my files are .jpg too.
i suspect, but i am unsure, if this is a unfortunate result of a update of the Android OS.
please help!!
 
First rename the folder from .HIDE to HIDE. (The dot at the beginning makes the folder invisible in Linux (which is the operating system in Android).

Then the ROM probably has to be rooted to see anything in the folder, because it's probably a system folder. If the ROM isn't already rooted, rooting it could overwrite files that are marked 'deleted'. (Files don't get deleted, they just get marked deleted, and the space they sit in is marked as usable.)

And why, unless your company requires it, would you be running Knox anyway? (You have to download Knox - what's in the phone when you get it is just a stub, it's not Knox.) If the company requires it, and you fool around in there, it could mean your job. But if it's your personal phone, there's no reason to download Knox.
