Android writing to sd card

However don't get me wrong rooting is the way to go. For what it's worth good luck finding anything on your phone. This means you won't be able to move ANY installed apps which are root by nature to your SD card, in spite of what was suggested. What you need is a rooted mobile, and when it is rooted - who would need such a workaround? So you can see it's quite pointless. Whoever wrote that should be fired, and then hung by the! And I hate that, that's the 'only way' to write to the external SD Card. It's a piece of garbage, and I won't begin to list all the flaws I've found in it.

That's not why I Googled this topic. And, 'of course' they wouldn't get into that question, without the remote access thing, which really I hate giving to someone! Now I know that there has been two updates to Android since the 4. My question to Samsung was; In any updated versions of Android, was the issue of writing to the external SD Card, with anything other than the 'My Files' app , resolved? I generally use an app that I found in the PlayStore called, 'X-plore', as my main file manager.

Android External Storage – Read, Write, Save File

It's a nice file manager But I can't write to the external SD Card using it. I am 'not' going to update to any newer version of Android, unless I'm told that this whole issue had been fixed in a later version. After that 'hour' on the phone with Samsung, I still don't have a definite answer. Can anyone here tell me if this issue had been fixed, and in which newer version of Android? I found out a long time ago about this issue, and that I wasn't the only one complaining about it. The B1 file manager is the perfect solution. Thanks so much for the info!

I don't quite follow. Unless an app can take ownership of a file on the other than it's own, designated folder, it will not be able to write any information onto that folder, yes? Using an app like software data cable to transfer a large file onto your external sd card as one could before this whole thing happened is now an impossible task and I don't understand how copy-pasting folders will change that.

Google, being Google, decided to revoke en masse write permissions given to third party apps earlier since it allowed any app to read any folder that it was programmed to without restrictions thereby making it a field day for malware. How does copy-pasting folders overwrite that function? Don't file ownership details and permissions have to be changed?

How does one bypass that without rooting the device?

Moreover, B1 allows you to move media up and down and into the sd card and one only needs to do that on a regular basis now as compared to before when the app was allowed to do it by itself. But I digress, my point was that I didn't really follow the tutorial;. Sorry if I sound stupid, but I really did get lost and didn't quite comprehend the process up there..

Reply 4 years ago. Despite the stories I have never found malware to be a serious issue yet on android. I've found antiviral software causes more hassle than help and I no longer use any on my Android device. I also have never had the need to use antiviral on my Linux based Ubuntu laptop.
