Can you send me an example size of a file that fails? I'll try to replicate that and come back

jerichoi224 commented 11 months ago

Oh, did some extra testing, and found out... it wasn't with the file size, it was with the destination folder. I seem to not be able to move files into directories that aren't within the DCIM folder.

For example, I've been trying to move some files I downloaded into /Downloads/Family_Pictures folder but have been failling. I moved the folder to /DCIM/Family_Pictures, and now I can move the files fine.

There seems to be an error when moving files into Folders outside the DCIM such as directories in the root directory or Download folders...

I'm not sure you're on the latest build or I've missed something while doing some path checking but without any extra permissions (and I'm talking about the FULL STORAGE ACCESS), Android no longer allows moving media through the official APIs (MediaStore) outside of DCIM/ or Pictures/ folders.

There's already an open issue regarding this and I will consider adding this permission request (as optional) for allowing users to copy/move media to any album (or create new album)

Oh, I didn't realize this was an issue on Android. Yeah I didn't realize my albums were located outside so initially thought it was a bug, but I guess its just due to android restricting permissions. I think I'll just have to be careful with where I create albums, and this issue can be ignored..

Thanks!
