Grant write access buggy? Volume path & creating directories...

[gitoss]

The "Expose open volumes" option works using DroidFS 2.1.3 (Using Saming S20 One UI 5.1 Android 13) - however the "Grant Write access" doesn't work for me properly.

1. After rtfm, I still don't cannot get this to work: README.md states "Due to Android's storage restrictions, encrypted volumes located on SD cards must be placed under /Android/data/sushi.hardcore.droidfs/ if you want DroidFS to be able to modify them."

However, there are no /Android/data/sushi.hardcore.droidfs/ directories, i.e. DroidFS doesn't create them. When creating a volume I can just access the /Android/media folders on the internal storage or sd card. I'm trying to use /Android/media/sushi.hardcore.droidfs/ - is this the same concerning write access?

2. Using a volume in /Android/media/sushi.hardcore.droidfs/ I can access the volume using File Managers like Mix or FX, add FILES and edit them.

However, I cannot create DIRECTOIRES with these file managers - they just show up as 0-byte files.

Using the /Android/data/sushi.hardcore.droidfs directory is only needed if you want write access on external SD cards. If your volume is located on the internal storage, you can put it anywhere. DroidFS should still be able to write into it. Additionally, Android may prevent you from selecting this folder using the system file explorer. You have to enter the path manually.

However, I cannot create DIRECTOIRES with these file managers - they just show up as 0-byte files.

Thanks, that's a bug. I'll fix that for the next version.

I'm having the same issue with the folders creation. Also, SyncThing only recognizes the directory as read-only. Probably related to the folder thing.

Hope we can see a fix soon. Outside of this (pretty big bug), it's an amazing app, and has saved me from having to root my Lenovo Y700 tablet which doesn't allow for formatting the SD card as encrypted device storage, only as portable storage. Before your app I was using cryptsetup and fbind.
