Why Samsung!

[strikeIII]

Just WHY! GBoard Dictionary Sync is disabled when you have Secure Folder enabled. While I can see WHY it doesn't make sense for them to do this to their customers when they could easily disable it while in the secure folder. Makes zero sense. SMH

Does enabling the Secure Folder cause GBoard to identify it as an enterprise device?

Possibly, since knox is enabled. All I know is that it's disabled when secure folder is enabled. So annoying.

Security is there for security -- not as much for convenience. Hence why most users are lax on it .

Shouldn't that read "Why, Samsung?!?!"

I definitely understand security but it could've been implemented better. Bah, we can't have everything I guess. My OP was just me venting really.

Actually, it's a 'Why, Google?' that should go there. The bug is on GBoard, not Knox.

Not Samsung's fault, though. Bug has been around in GBoard for quite a while on how they limit that for Enterprise, I believe. You can have sync with other keyboards, even using Knox (like the stock one or SwiftKey).
