Recently updated to Android 7.1.x (LineageOS) as well. Just tried to export for the first time since that switch. Same problem as OP.

But I think I might have a clue on why it's not working: After the export via Save As... one get's back to Gnucash-android. Below the Save As... selection the path to which was exported to is shown. Notice the beginning of the path: content://com.android.externalstorage.......

I recently had problems with KeepassDroid saving changes to its database. Back then I searched around until I found this: https://github.com/bpellin/keepassdroid/issues/75 As taylormarshall states in his third post, it seems to come down to supporting content:// URI.

This issue should be fixed in the recently released beta. Please join the beta program: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/org.gnucash.android and let me know if it now works alright for you!

Alright I just tried the previously described export procedure with the latest beta (2.3.0-beta1). Worked fine for me first try. Good job and thanks!
