SafePics 1.2.4.26

More and more users start taking very seriously the need to make sure that private files remain confidential and accessible only for the rightful owner. To achieve this, particularly on mobile devices, using a specialized application would be the easiest thing to do.

Those who own a Windows Phone handset have a varied choice at their disposal and among the possible candidates you can try an app that has a suggestive name: SafePics.

Nice looking and well organized GUI

The simple interface of the application has a smooth feel to it and the navigation among menus and lists of stored items is fluent for the most part, with some delays when exiting image folders or some sections of the utility.

Loading the pictures to view them up close them takes a bit more time than it should, but apart from that, the preview in the editing area is quite prompt and shows the changes almost instantly.

All the commands and tools are conveniently placed in the lower part of the screen, so they can be accessed and used with no efforts, no matter which area of SafePics you are currently visiting.

Security features and quick configuration

The application asks you from the get-go to choose a passkey and you can also provide an email address where the password can be sent in case you forget it.

A most interesting function that you will surely enjoy when using this utility relies on a so-called "dummy access code". This makes it possible for you to setup a fake PIN code and thus create a defense against attempts to break in and view your private pics.

When the decoy passkey is typed in, the photo albums from your local storage that are not hidden from view will be displayed, so no secret images will be exposed since the files kept inside SafePics are encrypted.

Import and manage content on the fly

Creating albums is a breeze and you can add only photos from the phone storage or those captured with the help of this app. After the images are safely transferred into the virtual vault you will have to remove them from the visible photo folders to ensure no one can access them without your permission.

SafePics is also able to upload all your photos to the cloud as it works seamlessly with OneDrive to ensure all the encrypted data is send safely in your account.

There is even a synchronization feature that will make sure all your files are up to date and ready to be accessed from your Windows Phone handset or from any computer powered by Windows 8.1 with the corresponding application installed.
