Here are my findings regarding the storage question of osmand+: a) Internal App Storage is a storage area inside the app which is not part of the file system and cannot be accessed by any other app, maybe, not even by the system or when your device is rooted.
b) External Storage 1 is located on the internal SD card (i.e. storage chip on the processor board) and is in the file system at location: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/net.osmand.plus/files. This storage is not accessible by any app except osmand itself. It is also not accessible via a USB connection from a file manager on the PC. The Windows Exploerer simply does not see files or subdirectories inside this osmand folder. c) External Storage 2 is located on the external SD card in folder /storage/[sd-card-id]/Android/data/net.osmand.plus/files. This storage too is not accessible by any other than osmand itself. d) Multiuser Storage 1 is located on the internal SD card at /storage/emulated/0/Android/obb/net.osmand.plus. Note the difference in the path name: "obb" here and "data" in the previous examples. Also the subfolder "files" is not used. With this storage it is possible to access the osmand folder tree with all its files from file manager apps as well as from Windows via the USB-connection. Windows is a little peculiar in that only the Windows Explorer can read and write files via this connection. Another application in Windows (even non MS file managers) have at least problems with writing. e) Multiuser Storage 2 is located on the external SD card in folder /storage/[sd-card-id]/Android/obb/net.osmand.plus. Note that here too the folder "obb" is used and no subfolder "files". I expect it should behave like Multiuser Storage 1, but I did not make experiments with this folder anymore because I got tired with trying and was happy with Multiuser Storage1. f) Manually specified: I tried it but was not successful. osmand complained that it was not able to transfer its files there, no matter where I tried to place the data. I hope this explanation has clarified all the confusion and shows you a way how to access your precious data. Bert [email protected] schrieb am Mittwoch, 5.
