Secure Folder issue after update (Galaxy S25 Ultra)

[Ragbibi]

Hello,

Since the latest update on my Galaxy S25 Ultra (Europe), the apps I installed inside Secure Folder (Chrome, Firefox, Samsung Internet) can no longer access the photos and videos that are inside Secure Folder.

When I try to add or upload a file from these apps, they only show my personal storage (outside Secure Folder), even though my media is clearly visible in Secure Folder Gallery and Secure Folder My Files. Before the update, everything worked normally.

❓ My question:

Has anyone else experienced the same issue since the update?

Is this a known One UI / Secure Folder bug, and is there any fix or workaround to make apps inside Secure Folder access Secure Folder files again like before?

Thanks for your help

But I can't upload from app as chrome Firefox or Samsung explorer. Maybe they block the access of explorer.  And why it's not secure if it only take contents from secure folder?

You can't upload files from secure folder outside of it. It works for browsers/apps installed inside of it

Before you could if these apps was in the secure folder

I can upload files saved in Secure folder using Samsung Internet installed in Secure folder

After the last update?

Open Secure Folder, switch to another app, go back to Secure Folder and you will NOT be asked for your pass code or fingerprint etc. The Secure Folder remains unlocked at all times (unless you lock it by switching off screen etc). Also while switching apps, you can see the contents of your Secure Folder.
