Photo Vault App Recovery via ES File Explorer File Manager

Actually most photo video locker applications fall in 2 types :
1) Hiding using Encryption
2) Hiding in dot folders (Example: .foldername)

For the first type, you have a very less chance of photo vault apps picture recovery unless you know a very good decrypted application or someone who is familiar with that method. For the second type just as the photo vault app, you might as well rely on an explorer that is capable of exposing the dot folders (hidden folders whose name begin with a dot.), such as ES File Explorer File Manager.

ES File Explorer File Manager is able to show hidden files. As it shows, you’ll see the hidden files and folders to check for the photos/videos in the application folder where it is installed. If not, search the photo and video formats by using willcard characters.

  1. Install Es File Explorer File Manager and launch it.
  2. Navigate to settings and enable the option “show hidden files”. Now back to home directory search the folder “. My security”. Then open the folder and you’ll get many files named like “24ad4ca5”.

  4. You’ll get the files with different extensions. Try to open them as image or video.
  5. Change the extensions of files into jpg/mp4 by using multirename tool.
