Seems like it will work but way too complicated. Nonrooted devices need to send files to a temporary folder. I send files to the temporary folder and it doesn't tell me where that folders location is or how to access it. No shortcuts in the app or anything. Once I find this folder we'll see how well app works. Edit: okay you select the path in settings but this app makes you figure out way too much on your own, like temp folder and exfat download. Once you figure it out the app works good.

As far as i can tell, contrary to all of the negative reviews, this app does exactly what it states it will do. As others have mentioned the interface is somewhat clunky and non-intuitive, it probably helps that I have a strong Unix/Linux background in working with encryption systems. The only thing that I see that is really a flaw is that there is no cut/paste (recursive move) facility, there is only copy/paste functionality, which severely limits usability.

(PS1: I will pay for the pro version only if EDS pro improves Video/Photo browsing experience like the android Gallery app. Mouting is not an option because nowadays root permission is not very common in phones.) (PS2: There is no preview for video files. It only supports preview photos. Since I can not use Gallery app to open videos/photos in EDS container, I hope EDS company really consider adding video preview feature and better gallery support. Thank you very much) ---- I changed 1 star to 5 stars. The reason why I gave 1 star is because it can not open/mount LUKs encrypted USB Drive (Partition). But later I figure out how to use LUKs container image file, that actually works, althought it only supports luks1 (does not support luks2). This is the only program I can find which supports LUKs encryption and works well so I changed the review to 5 stars.

Absolutely wonderful! Just looked at help, watched a few videos and I'm up and running. Made a container, then took some time working how to put anything in it, but got there in the end. Doesn't seem to read from my external SD card. Nor do I understand the bit about ExFat containers, but it doesn't matter. So far as I'm concerned this tiny app works well. Top marks to the developers. Sorry I didn't give it 5 star first time round.

The app works quite well with my small (100 MB) Veracrypt file but there is no documentation, and the file manager incorporated into the app is the worst on Android that I have ever used. My usual file manager is ES file explorer and it would be much better if it were possible to use external file managers of choice. Otherwise, this app does the job.

The best encryption app for android. I've used it for years. A little complicated to use (navigating back & forth), but does a great job. It creates encrypted containers where you can place anything (files and folders) that you can rename from default to any name you like. If you are familiar with truecrypt or veracrypt on a PC, it works like them and also works directly with containers from them. Developer is very responsive. 👍👍

App is working (2 stars for that). But it is awful. All UI is as counter intuitive as possible - aiming for struggle as much as possible to find how to mount or add files in container. But most important, it can't mount without root and the same time can't work with changing temp folder content. It only can save changes inside file and nothing more. Example: if you use a single file to take note - it can save changes in it. But if you creating in same folder note files for each info - it can't.

I really wanted to like this app but the interface makes it unusable. Created an encrypted volume on an SD card but, having navigated to a normal folder on the SD card and then moved a subfolder to the encrypted volume, I now get those two paths shown in the list of file volumes with no way to traverse past them back up the tree! Maybe there's a hidden command, but the screens are pretty sparse and I've spent a long time looking. Disappointed.
