Partial solution for writing to external memory card on KitKatIf you have Android KitKat, and device with removable memory card, you may have noticed that writing to your memory card is not possible in X-plore and many other apps.Device's built-in file manager magically works, because Google gave it special permissions, but 3rd-party apps are out of game. Rooting device and applying special fix solves writing to your memory card for all apps. Search web to learn how. But rooting device is not solution for all. On affected devices with KitKat, X-plore now offers full write access to external memory card, but only inside of X-plore's private folder. That's what Android KitKat officially allows to be done. On these devices, you can find new entry called "KitKat sandbox" in X-plore, which provides access to this special folder, where you can read/write as you wish. However, there are limitations: - it's harder to find the files, since they're inside long path on the memory card - other apps won't have write access to these files - if you uninstall X-plore, Android will delete this folder too, and you may lose your files However, enjoy this partial fix to the problem, we do what we can. And let's see if Android Lollipop finally resolves this weird behavior. |
