Hi,
I am looking for a way to limit read access for certain folders, for privacy reasons.

E.g. I want to have a folder, that will be used for sensitive data. It shall only be accessed by a file manager app, office app, and picture gallery. And nobody else shall be allowed to read it (e.g. untrusted apps that may violate my privacy).

Is there any existing solution for that? I am not rooted yet, but willing to do so if necessary.

Regards,
Arnschi

I dont know which device/os you are using. But if you are using lollipop,there is something new called privacy guard in settings.in that if you select advanced options,you can restrict almost everything for any app.
If you are not in lollipop,change to lollipop :)
