Since 4.4 apps could only write to "their own folder" on sd card. A "SECURITY" measure (only android and some retailer like samsung file manager had full access). Making sd card close to useless without root for some people (want to change tags on your mp3? Move to tag changing app folder, change tags, move back).
And no, I have not read article yet, will do later. Was expecting tl;dr ansver to my question.
- IanCal 11y agoI'm pretty sure I've had file managers for a long time, but I certainly have one installed now that can move files around on the SD card on android 5.1 > Was expecting tl;dr ansver to my question. Seemed rather odd to spend the time writing out the question and reply compared to just doing a quick search.
- throwawaygeu 11y agoCould you be kind enough to give me name of rhat file manager? Pm it or something if there are rules against advertisement. (Also I do hope you are not rooted...) So far these that moves files on sd card since 4.4 used their own folder as "sd card".
- throwawaygeu 11y agoSo, should I interpret your lack of answer to my last question as "oh dang, my file manager is actually part of rom used by company name, and from kitkat you really can't edit sd card contents from apps" ?
- IanCal 11y agoNo, you can interpret from that I didn't spot a notification coming through of a reply. This isn't reddit, there's no reason to be so confrontational. You could have used the last three days to try downloading any one of many file managers on the play store and seeing if they did what you wanted. Or you could have bothered to do a tiny bit of searching and found that the security restrictions changed when lollipop came out.
