Hello, I have a Samsung A70 with android 11 ( latest available firmware). Every time I run sd maid it asks me to complete the configuration related to the public archive (or secondary archive). Clicking on the “red button” opens a screen from where however it is not possible to select the path indicated on the button.

How can I solve this? I wanted to use the scheduling feature, but if I don't fix this part of the configuration, the scheduling starts but tells me that I have to complete the configuration.

Thank you, Claudio

At moment I wouldn't call it "bug" 😉

Have you enabled all permissions for SD-Maid SE? SDMaid SE requires full access to your system, without it can't do anything. If this problem will exist after enable all permission, then provide a debug log please, the instructions you can find here in the FAQ for SD-Maid SE.

It's possible that your ROM has updated the files app, and the newer version of that app has restrictions that prevent you from granting the access. SD Maid 1 has no special logic for that edge case and will just keep asking for the permission.

Options:

Ignore the permission and use the app without it (will be less thorough)
Try to see if the files app update can be uninstalled, grant the permission, then it doesn't matter if it is updated again
Switch to SD Maid 2/SE and see if the permission handling there can deal with the situation
