Concerns over the invasion of privacy<\/a> and the loss of data ownership have become increasingly common. As technology continues to become further embedded in our everyday lives, our communication increasingly takes place online \u2013 which often means sharing sensitive and private information over the Internet.<\/p>\n

It can be hard to know the right way to do this. For example, you might have concerns around the security of third-party messaging platforms. Or you might be worried that your private information and data could be lost or compromised in the event of a server attack or the loss of your phone. When connecting to another device, you might also worry about who can see your data, and how to keep it secure.<\/p>\n

At Samsung, we\u2019ve thought of all this and made it our mission to keep you protected so you can safely and comfortably share your data with whomever you choose.<\/p>\n

Private Sharing with Quick Share<\/h5>\n

Ever been in a situation like this? You want to share pictures of your newborn baby, or a video from your recent holiday<\/a>, but don\u2019t want to risk them somehow ending up online or visible to anyone other than those you intended.<\/p>\n

Samsung Galaxy<\/a> has a built-in solution to this problem: Quick Share\u2019s Private Sharing<\/a>, a privacy-preserving file-sharing function that lets you share your data with peace of mind.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\n\t\t\"Galaxy\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n

With Private Sharing<\/a>, you and you alone own the data. You can ensure that only the designated recipients can open the files you send \u2013 no one else. You can also set permissions and expiration dates for the data, so it\u2019s only viewable for a limited amount of time. Further, you can give read-only access without the ability to re-share; revoke the data access whenever you like; restrict screenshotting, and see when the recipient received and opened the file.<\/p>\n

Private Sharing makes it safe and easy to share your content, and you can share up to 20 files at once with a total size of up to 200MB.1<\/a><\/sup> And of course, all your files are securely and fully encrypted when shared, courtesy of blockchain-based encryption technology.<\/p>\n

To use Private Sharing, select the file you want to send and tap the Share icon. Tap Quick Share, followed by the three dots for more options in the top right corner. Then select Turn on Private Sharing. Once the message has been sent, you can check what you\u2019ve sent and change the expiration date or revoke sharing permissions.<\/p>\n

Select file > Quick Share > Three dots (more options) > Turn on Private sharing
\n\"Samsung<\/p>\n

No more worries about misfiring a private photo or file, or having your information fall into the wrong hands. With Quick Share\u2019s Private Sharing, you\u2019re in control of your data and whom you choose to share it with, with visibility into file share status every step of the way.<\/p>\n

Enhanced Data Protection with End-to-End Encryption<\/h5>\n

Here\u2019s a moment that would make anyone panic. You receive a notification that something\u2019s gone wrong with a website you visited, and the server where your sensitive account details are stored has been compromised.<\/p>\n

No one wants their data leaked. But with Galaxy\u2019s Enhanced Data Protection<\/a>, you can be confident that your data remains secure in the Samsung Cloud.<\/p>\n

Starting with the Galaxy S24<\/a>, Enhanced Data Protection offers additional protection for Galaxy devices when you sync or back up your data with Samsung Cloud.2<\/a><\/sup> This feature mitigates data loss via end-to-end encryption (E2EE), which ensures data can only be encrypted or decrypted on your device and cannot be seen by anyone but you. In other words, you can connect to other devices while staying secure, and your data will be kept safe even if a server is compromised or account details are stolen.<\/p>\n

When you activate Enhanced Data Protection, you’ll be prompted to write down a recovery code to help prevent the loss of your data in the event you lose your device.<\/p>\n

To use Enhanced Data Protection, open the Samsung Cloud app, tap the three dots for more options, choose Settings, and then Enhanced Data Protection. From here, you can choose to encrypt backup or synced data. Alternatively, you can open your device Settings and go to Security and Privacy to find this feature.<\/p>\n

Samsung Cloud > Three dots (more options) > Settings > Enhanced data protection
\nSettings > Security and privacy > More security settings > Enhanced data protection<\/p>\n

\"Samsung<\/p>\n

End-to-end encrypted data is only<\/em> accessible on devices using the Enhanced Data Protection feature, and cannot be accessed by anyone else, including Samsung.<\/p>\n

We know that our users want to be able to enjoy their lives safely with the knowledge that their devices and data are protected. Galaxy enables you to do just that \u2013 so you can safely go out there knowing we have your back.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
