The path ending in obb is the "public" app data folder that facilitates encryption via OBB files so that only the app can access it. the path ending in /data is the "normal" data storage path where app data gets stored without encrypting it.
in Osmand in your settings -> general settings, you have your "storage path" . This determines where OsmAnd has its data stored. After my question you mentioned yourself :) a couple of mails ago: "In OsmAnd settings -> general settings, I can see "Data storage folder". The text under that heading is "/data/data/net.osmand.plus/files"" Replace that "/data/data/net.osmand.plus/files" with " /sdcard/Android/data/net.osmand.plus/files" Check whether OsmAnd accepts that and will copy its data to that folder. If it does not you can delete that folder "/net.osmand.plus/files" inside " /Android/data/" first in the file manager and then try again. If it is successful you can from now on access the osmand data. And the adding itself is simply typing in the full path. Note that the prefix "/storage/emulated/0" is the same as " /sdcard" (softlinks) and refers to internal memory. The "/storage/ExtSdCard" refers to a real sdcard, which you do not have.
