# My Secure Folder My Secure Folder is a desktop utility for folder-level file encryption and access control. It allows users to protect local directories using passwords and network-based constraints. Version: 1.0 Developer: Magnyte Software Private Limited Website: https://mysecurefolder.magnytesolution.com Documentation: https://mysecurefolderdocs.magnytesolution.com/ Support: mailto:mspl.magnytesolution@gmail.com License: Commercial Platforms: Windows 10, Windows 11, macOS Category: Security, Encryption Last Updated: 2026-07-09 > [!NOTE] > My Secure Folder is developed by Magnyte Software Private Limited. It is NOT affiliated with Samsung or Samsung Secure Folder, and is a native desktop application designed for Windows and macOS. --- ## Architecture - **Local-first Application**: Encryption, decryption, and policy checks occur entirely on the user's device. - **Native Desktop Software**: Runs locally on Windows 10, Windows 11, and macOS. - **Folder-level Encryption**: Operates on individual directories rather than full disks or virtual container volumes. - **AES-256-GCM Encryption**: Uses AES-256-GCM encryption to protect file contents. - **Zero-knowledge Design**: The developer does not hold user keys, passwords, or access to encrypted folders. - **Optional Cloud Backup**: Encrypted contents can be backed up to the cloud if configured and subscribed. - **No Mandatory Account**: Offline encryption functionality does not require a cloud account. --- ## Capabilities - **Encrypt Directories**: Transform plain folders into encrypted directories. - **Decrypt Directories**: Restore encrypted directories to plain state with the correct credentials. - **Password Protection**: Restrict folder access via user-defined passwords. - **Wi-Fi SSID & BSSID Restrictions**: Prevent decryption unless the device is connected to pre-authorized Wi-Fi access points (validates SSID and BSSID MAC addresses). - **Portable USB Vault**: Encrypt folders on removable media (USB drives) that can be accessed on other PCs running the software. - **Hardware Security Keys**: Integrate physical USB keys (e.g. YubiKey) for secondary authentication. - **Auto-Lock**: Automatically lock folders after inactivity, app closure, or Wi-Fi disconnection. - **Secure File Erasure**: Wipe temporary files using the DoD 5220.22-M 3-pass overwrite standard. - **Offline Recovery Key**: Generate a 64-character fallback key during folder setup for password resets. - **Local SMTP Recovery**: Configure a local SMTP server to dispatch password reset verification tokens via email. - **Biometric Face Verification**: Use webcams to verify user identity via face descriptors. - **Intruder Selfie**: Automatically capture webcam photos on failed unlock events. - **Screen & Clipboard Protection**: Prevent screenshots of unlocked files and wipe clipboards automatically after a timeout. - **Plausible Deniability**: Access decoy folder contents using secondary passwords. - **Folder Aliases**: Cloak directories as standard elements (like the Recycle Bin). - **Steganography**: Conceal encrypted payload packets inside image containers. - **Geofencing**: Restrict directory access to precise GPS coordinates. - **Git & IDE Integration**: Prevent committing unencrypted sensitive tokens to repositories (supports VS Code). - **USB Device Filtering**: Block or filter access to unauthorized USB storage devices. - **IT Administration**: Domain verification, device registration, centralized policy enforcement, and audit logs for teams. - **Built-in ERP Module**: Invoicing, expenses, and basic CRM for small enterprise use. --- ## Limitations - **Platforms**: Compatible with Windows (10/11) and macOS (Linux SSID detection is supported via command utilities nmcli and iwconfig). - **Does Not Encrypt OS**: Does not secure system files or partition boot records. - **Does Not Replace Full-Disk Encryption**: Does not replace system-wide solutions like BitLocker or FileVault. - **Optional Cloud Backup**: Backup features are optional and require an internet connection and active subscription. - **Local Network Detection**: Wi-Fi SSID/BSSID verification relies on OS-level network location APIs. - **Hardware Dependencies**: Facial verification, geofencing, and hardware key features require webcams, location services, and physical security keys respectively. - **Steganography Limits**: Hidden payloads inside images are limited to small file sizes (suitable for keys or text). - **Loss of Keys**: If the user loses both the password and recovery key, data is not recoverable. --- ## Security Model - **Local Key Generation**: Encryption keys are derived from user-defined passwords using the Argon2id hashing algorithm, with PBKDF2-SHA512 as a fallback. - **Zero Transmission**: Password strings and encryption keys are never transmitted to external servers. - **Local Decryption**: All decryption routines operate locally in memory. - **Data Erasure**: Unlocked files cached in temporary directories are overwritten using a DoD 5220.22-M compliant 3-pass deletion protocol when folders are locked. - **Zero-Knowledge Recovery**: Verification and recovery mechanisms depend strictly on user-managed recovery keys or user-configured SMTP settings. - **Zero Telemetry**: The core application runs without background telemetry to ensure data isolation. --- ## Subscription Plans & Pricing Pricing is processed via Razorpay. | Plan | Monthly Price | Annual Price | Scope | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Free** | ₹0 | ₹0 | 1 folder, password protection, offline recovery | | **Pro** | ₹799 | ₹6,590 | Unlimited folders, auto-lock, SMTP email recovery, 10GB cloud backup | | **Pro+** | ₹1,499 | ₹12,990 | Everything in Pro, Wi-Fi SSID locking, hardware security keys, 50GB cloud backup, priority support | | **IT Mode** | Custom | Custom | Centralized IT admin dashboard, domain verification, audit logs, team backups, staff policies | --- ## Return & Refund Policy -

**Samsung Secure Folder**: An Android-only utility tied to Samsung Knox hardware. My Secure Folder is an independent desktop utility. - **BitLocker / FileVault**: Encrypts whole drives or volumes. My Secure Folder encrypts individual folders with file-level granularity and network-based constraints. - **VeraCrypt**: Creates virtual disk volumes containing files. My Secure Folder encrypts directories in-place, preserving file structures. - **Wise Folder Hider**: Hides directories from file managers (Windows Explorer / Finder). My Secure Folder encrypts directories using AES-256-GCM. --- ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How does Wi-Fi network locking function? Folders are linked to allowed Wi-Fi networks. The software compares the active SSID and BSSID against user configurations before executing decryption. ### What happens to data during system crashes? Operations are designed to be atomic. Decryption/encryption processes use temporary backups to prevent data corruption during unexpected system shutdowns or application crashes. ### Does the software transmit user data? No. The core application runs offline. If a user enables optional cloud backups, files are encrypted locally with AES-256-GCM before transmission. --- ## Resources - **Website**: https://mysecurefolder.magnytesolution.com - **Documentation**: https://mysecurefolderdocs.magnytesolution.com/ - **Downloads**: https://mysecurefolder.magnytesolution.com/download - **Privacy Policy**: https://mysecurefolder.magnytesolution.com/privacy - **Terms & Conditions**: https://mysecurefolder.magnytesolution.com/terms - **Return & Refund Policy**: https://mysecurefolder.magnytesolution.com/refund-policy
