Install apk:

To install APK files from WebTech360 you need to set up the device to be able to install applications that are not on Google Play.

Some tips to use Gallery Vault for Android:

Encrypted file storage:

The encrypted file will be saved in a folder named ".galleryvault_DoNotDelete _ ***" in the device memory.

Note: you may not see this folder because its name starts with a period "." will be considered the hidden folder. You need to reinstall your device's file viewer to show hidden folders.

Your device may have more than one storage location, but the encrypted file will be saved in the same location as the original.

For example, if you use an SD card in your device, you will have 2 storage memory (internal) and an SD memory card. If the picture is being saved on a memory card, the corresponding encrypted file will also be in the memory card.

Methods to avoid data loss:

Do not delete, rename or move the folder ".galleryvault_DoNotDelete _ ***" or any other file in it.

When removing the application from the device, some file cleanup tools (such as Clean Master ) will notify the user of deleting files from the Gallery Vault. If you want to temporarily remove the application from the device and use it later, do not confirm to delete this file whenever the device asks you.

If you want to change the device, set the machine to the original state or change the memory card, please backup your data first.

Find lost files:

Make sure that you haven't deleted the folder ".galleryvault_DoNotDelete _ ***" nor installed the latest version of Gallery Vault.

If you have copied the folder ".galleryvault_DoNotDelete _ ***" from another device, remember to copy the entire directory on all archives. Access settings and click Find Lost Files. If backed up before, please restore the data.

Backup and restore data:

This is a necessary procedure when switching to a new device, making regular backups, resetting the machine to its original state, or clearing the memory.

Option 1 (optimal):

Backup:

Visit the setting page and click Backup to backup all files.
Connect the device to the computer and copy the folder GalleryVault_Backup to the computer.
Delete the backup folder on your mobile device to avoid duplication.

Restore:

Connect the device to the computer and copy the previously backed up GalleryVault_Backup folder to the top directory of the mobile device.
Visit the setting page and click Restore to restore.

Method 2:

Backup:

Find the entire folder named ".galleryvault_DoNotDelete _ ***" on the device.
Copy these folders to several devices, including computers. If there is more than one storage location, copy each of these folders to each memory.

Restore:

Make sure that Gallery Vault is not installed on the new device. If installed, unhide all files added to Gallery Vault and remove the app from your device.
Copy the folder named ".galleryvault_DoNotDelete _ ***" that you previously backed up to the new device. Don't forget to check all your storage.
If your device is running Android 4.4.2, you can copy to phone memory. Then install and launch Gallery Vault, a recovery panel will appear. Enter the passcode and perform normal data recovery.
If that fails, go to the settings page and click Find Lost Files to find the files copied to this device.

Note:

If you have backed up more than one folder ".galleryvault_DoNotDelete _ ***" but the new device only has one storage memory, merge the entire folder ".galleryvault_DoNotDelete _ ***" backed up to one folder and Copy that new folder to the new device.

If your new device has 2 or more memory units, you can copy the backup folder to one of the storage locations. Should choose memory with a larger capacity.

Handling errors can not add files:

If you added or shared files with a special file browser, Gallery Vault cannot recognize the file path. Please choose another way to add files if this error occurs.
Always remember to Gallery Vault has the right to add files from different folders on your device.
The application does not support adding files online, such as from Picasa or Google Drive, so you need to download the file before adding it to the application.
