I'm on Android 11, and I've never been able to access folders of
apps from file managers. Just tried Ghost Commander and it can't do
it either, even if I give it permission to access all files: I can
go to /storage/emulated/0/Android but not to Android/data/anything.
Is your phone rooted, maybe?
The only way I've found to access OsmAnd files outside of OsmAnd is to
plug in the USB cable and use a computer. On Linux I find that adb works
best. So i have a bunch of aliases that do things like
adb pull /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/net.osmand.plus/files/tracks/rec/. .
and
adb shell rm $androidSD/Android/data/net.osmand.plus/files/tracks/rec/$filename
It's Android's fault for making this so difficult, not OsmAnd's.
