Super cool app that almost exactly what I need for managing encrypted pictures, minus one star for no pinch and zoom in picture preview. I havent tried videos but hoping there is a preview player inside the app for that as well! Will move over my documents and pictures once functionality is upgraded! Awesome response! 5 stars!
