SD card access. #214

Open harbing3r1 opened 6 years ago

harbing3r1 commented 6 years ago

I suppose the app is not getting SD card access (I have given permission to storage). The backups fail and I cannot even create a new folder in SD Card from the app preferences (backup location). The same works on default location though.

Thank you!

EDIT: I see it in the code it ask for external storage permissions. But it won't work. I cannot view the error, nor is it being logged. I can see files and apk in the sd card location. Not restoring using the same though (apk not found error)

You should articulate the paths that don't work (and paths that do.) Also Android version would be very useful More useful details - faster resolving

oandbackup doesn't have some permissions for external sdcards. So it can write to some specific app paths in Android/data/... I already wrote in another issue.

Sorry, here are the details: I made a folder on the sd card "home or root or top lvl" path and set it as the preferred location.
