File Hider Online Help

 

Welcome to our Help Centre, When you use our App, you trust us with your information. Hence, we take a number of security measures to ensure the safety and security of your valuable files. We have put our maximum effort to make this app an excellent choice for you. However, not all things always happen to our expectations. Errors are not uncommon in software, due to many reasons. No software giant is exceptional to this.


When you store files into this app, we strongly recommend the following steps:

  • Never import Hidden/Read-only Files

  • If you have files in your external drive, copy them to your pc first, then import the copied local files in to the app.

  • The above are default limitations of Windows store apps imposed by Windows, It is not our fault.

  • Instead of using Add(+) button to add files, we recommend you to always DROP files from your PC into this app, then delete the source in your PC, since this app does not move/delete the source when you drop.

  • keep backup of your files at a regular interval to any cloud storage system like Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive etc.

  • keep backup of your files in an external hard disk with your own password

  • Periodically backup the system

  • Export your files before un-installation. Uninstall of the App removes all app data including user files. There is no way to recover it.


Where is my in-built App's own Recycle-bin?

How to add/rename/delete Folders?

File hider app has it's own folder management. Right-click on any folder(except ShowAll & General folder) to create a new folder, rename the selected folder or delete the folder and its contents. Remember, In-built/default folders can not be deleted. Categorize your images into folders. You can also drag & drop your required files into your desired folder. The following image shows the representation/idea. 


I have forgotten my password, what to do?

Type 1122334455 in the Calculator input box and press Enter, you will get the following screen. There is a link to reset your password under the Submit button, If you have forgotten your password, click on the Reset password link, it will show another option to get your forgotten password to your registered email.

This is why the registered email is very important. If you have not entered/wrongly entered your registered email address during the sign-in time, you can not restore your password or enter into the app. However, we could help in some scenarios. 


Where are my data/files stored?

Your data and files are stored inside the system folder of the operating system. Forget worries. we take a number of steps to secure your data from loss or hack. This path can't be changed. However, you can always export your entire data anywhere. It is explained in the export section.


How to Backup/export my files?

Right-click on any folder including ShowAll & General folder, and click on the Export menu to export your folder and its contents. You can export some of the files instead of the entire folder. The following image shows the representation/idea. Before formating or reinstallation, export your entire data to a safer place, as you do for your other files and folders. If you want to export all of your data right-click on the Show All folder and click export.


Why are some files missing?

This should not happen. We take proper steps to move your files into our app. First of all, we check your file for various attributes before originally copying your files. After all preliminary check-ups, we create a safety copy of your file. then the safety copy is checked against your original file for integrity. then your file is copied into our app, then converted into a format that others can not access, then the processed file is checked for integrity. and finally, after all, steps are completed, without any error, your original file is deleted. We differ from all conventional apps, which directly move the original file without taking all these safety steps. Though we take a number of steps to ensure the safety and security of your files, not all things always happen to our expectations. Sometimes, windows return a null or zero value when accessing the file, even after stored. The system engine creates a bug when the stored file is converted back to a readable format. Windows OS blocks/deletes certain files, as false positives. In some cases, many anti-virus softwares do this strange thing. It is not uncommon. 


What to do if some files are missing?

  • Open the App with your regular password.

  • Go to File search textbox, which is located below the Files List box of the App.

  • Simply type "exportmissing" in File Search Textbox, without quotes.

  • If you type "exportall" in File Search Textbox, it will export all your files.

  • If the App finds any missing files, it exports those files to an external folder and opens that for you.

If you are still unable to recover the files, we are ready to help you through TeamViewer online. Contact us: Indiabeeps@gmail.com,

However, there is no guarantee of recovering the files, Please our Privacy Policy completely for more info.
 


Before Un-installation (Very Important):

Export your files before un-installation. Uninstall of the App removes all app data including user files. There is no way to recover it. This is not our fault. Windows does not allow Store Apps to warn the user before un-installation. So, there is no way to intimate or warn or give you any message at the time of un-installation. So you MUST export all your files to any location before uninstalling the App. We regret that we can not help if you lose your files by uninstalling the App.
