How To Hide A Folder On An Android Phone Without Any App by teewhydope(op): 7:07pm On Sep 11, 2015
Just add "." at the back of the folder name e.g ".pictures" and the folder will disappear. to unhide it goto the option of your file manager and tick "show hidden folders" then you can remove the "." from the name.
Interesting part is, the hidden files will also disappear from the gallery

Nb. Doesnt work with stock file manager
