At that time, it was called Files Go, and provided basic features such as folder management and file sharing between devices.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, the app has gained a lot of new functions with millions using it. One of the handy features in Google Files is Safe folder, which lets you secure your files behind a passcode. So even if someone has access to your phone, they can\u2019t open those files without knowing that code.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how you can use it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open the Google Files app on your Android phone.<\/li>\n<li>Tap on the Safe folder icon.<\/li>\n<li>When you set it up for the first time, you can set up a pin or a password for security.<\/li>\n<li>After that, you can select any files from existing folders, tap the three-dot menu on the top right corner, and select the \u201cMove to Safe folder\u201d option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-featured_img wp-image-1367356 js-lazy\" alt=\"Moving files to the Safe folder in Google Files\" width=\"796\" height=\"867\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/09\/Screenshot_20210917-155904724-e1631874773290-796x867.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/09\/Screenshot_20210917-155904724-e1631874773290-796x867.jpg 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/09\/Screenshot_20210917-155904724-e1631874773290-193x210.jpg 193w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/09\/Screenshot_20210917-155904724-e1631874773290-124x135.jpg 124w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/09\/Screenshot_20210917-155904724-e1631874773290-248x270.jpg 248w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/09\/Screenshot_20210917-155904724-e1631874773290.jpg 1080w\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.thenextweb.com%2Fbasics%2F2021%2F09%2F17%2Fhow-to-put-a-passcode-files-with-google-files%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: Moving files to the Safe folder in Google Files\" data-title=\"Share Moving files to the Safe folder in Google Files on Twitter\" data-width=\"685\" data-height=\"500\" class=\"post-image-share popitup\" title=\"Share Moving files to the Safe folder in Google Files on Twitter\"><i class=\"icon icon--inline icon--twitter--dark\"\/><\/a>Moving files to the Safe folder in Google Files<\/figcaption><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-featured_img wp-image-1367356\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/09\/Screenshot_20210917-155904724-e1631874773290-796x867.jpg\" alt=\"Moving files to the Safe folder in Google Files\" width=\"796\" height=\"867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/09\/Screenshot_20210917-155904724-e1631874773290-796x867.jpg 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/09\/Screenshot_20210917-155904724-e1631874773290-193x210.jpg 193w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/09\/Screenshot_20210917-155904724-e1631874773290-124x135.jpg 124w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/09\/Screenshot_20210917-155904724-e1631874773290-248x270.jpg 248w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/09\/Screenshot_20210917-155904724-e1631874773290.jpg 1080w\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>Once you do this, your files will be secure behind a passcode or a PIN.
