AndFTP 6.x - Cannot access/see all files

Post by support »

Hi all,

We've got many support requests about visibility of folders/files since AndFTP 6.1. Many files that were available in AndFTP 5.6 are not since AndFTP 6.1. For instance, non-media files under Downloads/ folder. This is the expeted behavior due to new Google security internal storage enforcement. We know it's a pain and not really convenient. The best way to access any file is to configure your AndFTP settings with "External" button as below:

Using "Internal" will limit the full read/write scope to /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/lysesoft.andftp/files only.

There is a way to get back to access all files but we need approval from Google:

We will try to request this approval for a next release.
