Components
The Amaze file manager is a good and awesome file manager with lot of features that makes it outstanding. The file manager has a feature that enables her users to lock their files from intruders so as to maintain their privacy.
Proposal
Whilst I was using the file manager, I discovered that there's something about the encrypt and decrypt feature. When encrypting, the initial file is still available for viewing which makes it looks as though the file wasn't protected. So I am proposing that when files are encrypted, the initial file should not be made visible, so that intruders might not get a view of what was protected initially.
(see photo below)
Also when decrypting a file, I observed that both the encrypted and the decrypted, are still together. Only that when the password is entered correctly, it's available to watch. which isn't suppose to be.
Mockups / Examples
From my experience with some Advanced file managers with similar features, they possesses such features and simultaneously making it professional and secure.
The App developer should consider making it professional.
When a file is decrypted, there shouldn't be any visible file available for viewing, so as to make it more secure
(see photo below)
from the above image, we can see how it should look like when encrypted.
And also when users/anyone clicks on the decrypt file, it should request for password
(see photo below)
And finally when the password is entered correctly, it should decrypt the file and and just the initial visible file available
(see photo below)
With this, users tend to get a better experience using the aforementioned feature to protect their files.
Benefits
There won't be a case where users think they've protected their files, and intruders still get go watch the other file.
The App would be more professional and secure.
Users would make it their Number one File manager and gives it five star......
