Emir BardakçıXiaomi is gearing up to officially launch Storage Sandbox with the release of HyperOS 2.0, bringing more advanced privacy and security management to its users. Notably, this feature is already available on the Redmi K70 Ultra, setting the stage for a broader rollout.
What is the Storage Sandbox?
A Storage Sandbox isolates apps’ access to your device’s storage, allowing each app to store files in a restricted area that other apps cannot access. This ensures that sensitive data remains secure, as apps cannot freely access each other’s stored files without explicit permission.
How it Compares to Stock Android
While Stock Android has featured a similar Scoped Storage system for several years, Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2.0 takes a step further by incorporating sandboxed storage with deeper integration into the Xiaomi ecosystem. This feature aims to enhance user privacy, ensuring that only the user and the specific app have control over their data.
What to Expect from Storage Sandbox in HyperOS 2.0?
- Better Privacy Control: Apps will be restricted from accessing unrelated files stored in your device, making data breaches less likely.
- Granular Permissions: Users can manage which apps have access to certain storage areas, adding a layer of control over file management.
- Improved Security: The isolated storage spaces prevent malicious apps from affecting other app data or accessing sensitive files.
With this feature officially coming to HyperOS 2.0, Xiaomi is taking significant steps to modernize its security features, putting it on par with or even exceeding some stock Android features.
