Is it possible to move my secure folder to my SD card?

[midiot]

From what I can tell, it is currently on the phone itself, but I'd like to have it on the SD card for whenever I get my replacement phone.

This wasn't possible on the Note 4, doubt it is on the 7. Couldn't someone just remove the sd card and view it on a computer?

Yes, but if I'm willing to take that chance, it should be my option.

Isn't the whole point of secure folder is that it's encrypted, so if someone put the SD card into a computer they couldn't see what was inside of the secure folder?

I too would like to put secure folder on the SD card, and frankly would be pretty damn disappointed if I can't.

Anyone have any suggestions?

The point of secure folder is not that it's encrypted, but that it is ties to the biometric security software to the phone hardware at a level that cannot be easily cracked or rooted. For this to work correctly, the information being protected is assumed to be directly built into the hardware, while an sd card is not. There are other encryption tools that can be used on the SD Card directly.

Hmmm...okay. That makes sense. Thanks.
