(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey NGU, I'm going to show you how to make a secret folder in your Android device where you can store any videos, pictures, etc. that you want, and no one will know where to find it except you.


  1. Download Astro File Manager from the Android Market.
  2. Plug your phone into your computer. Make sure it is on the Hard Drive mode.
  3. Make a new folder and name it anything with a '.' in the front (Example: .NextGenUpdate) The extra period makes it invisible in your Android device, so any videos and pictures in here won't be shown in the 'Gallery' app. I made mine a pretty complicated name, so if someone is looking through the manager, they'll ignore the folder.
  4. Add all the pictures and videos you want to the folder.
  5. Now, unplug your phone, and go to the Astro File Manager app.
  6. Go to your folder with the pictures and videos.
  7. And there is your secret folder! Enjoy!
