What is best app for encryption on Android?

1. Which version of Android are you running?
2. Will the files be store locally (on the device) or uploaded (to the cloud)? Because you could use something like this.

Also Nougat supports file-based encryption which will run differently to older Android versions.

I use the Premium version of File Commander to store certain files in the "Vault" which requires a passphrase to access them. Using Google Play Rewards I was able to upgrade for free. Features below:

• Secure Mode lets you hide and encrypt your files and folders, making them invisible outside of File Commander
• At-a-glance view of all your files and folders using the Storage Analyzer
• Bookmark your files and folders
• Recycle Bin so you can delete and restore files
• Access to hidden files and folders
• Ad-free
