To transfer a Secure Folder to a new phone, particularly on Samsung devices, the recommended process involves a few key steps due to the encryption and security of the Secure Folder data:

1. On the old phone, open the Secure Folder and move the content (photos, files, apps) out of the Secure Folder to the regular storage of the device. This is necessary because Secure Folder contents are encrypted and cannot be directly transferred with usual backup or transfer methods.
2. Use Samsung Smart Switch or another transfer tool to move the regular storage contents from the old phone to the new phone.
3. On the new phone, set up the Secure Folder.
4. Move or copy the transferred files back into the Secure Folder on the new phone.

Alternatively, users can back up their Secure Folder data to Samsung Cloud (by enabling Secure Folder backup in settings) on the old phone and restore it on the new phone by signing into the same Samsung account and restoring the backup within the Secure Folder settings. Some third-party tools like MobiKin Transfer for Mobile also assist in transferring moved-out content from Secure Folder safely. Key points:

• Direct transfer of Secure Folder data is not possible due to encryption.
• Always move data out of Secure Folder before transferring.
• Set up Secure Folder on the new device before moving data back in.
• Samsung Smart Switch can transfer Secure Folder if used correctly (with Secure Folder set up and Samsung account logged in).
• Backup to Samsung Cloud is a viable method for restoring Secure Folder content.
• Using file compression (e.g., encrypted ZIP or RAR) and cloud storage like Google Drive is another option for manual transfer.

This ensures your sensitive data remains secure while transferring to the new phone.
