Hi there, when you select "manually specified" as the directory for data storage, you are likely going to mess with issues wit Access Permissions.
In all Unix/Linux-like file systems (and Android is in effect a variant of Linux), when a directory is created, access to it is granted only for the user who created it (the "owner"); Separate permissions are used for reading, writing and executing programs from it; also, the same permissions can be extended to the users belonging to the same "group" as the owner, or to "other users" (for more info, you can just check some basic tutorial like this: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/permissions-in-linux/ : there are plenty around the internet) Basically, the error shown by OsmAnd when you select such a directory is happening because permissions to access that particular directory have not been set properly. In order to solve it, you would need to edit the permissions with an advanced file manager, i.e. Total Commander, or with the chmod command through a textual Console session, if you are brave enough, by setting them to "rwx rwx rwx" (aka "777"). Problem is that also an advanced file manager or Console might have limited access to the directory, if you're not accessing as a root/super-user, hence the limitations experienced by many people. My personal choice for OsmAnd would be setting the storage to "external 1" (storage partition integrated into the device's memory support), of it's bug enough (i.e.128GB) or "external 2" (partition on expansion Micro-SD card), if available. In that case, OsmAnd itself should ask for access permission (just grant it), but more limitations may be present due to vendor-imposed "security" choices. Hope this helps, Max Il Mar 22 Feb 2022, 20:22 [email protected] <[email protected]> ha scritto: > i will suggest to users with android 11 or higher to try to use / move / > install the osmand 4.1 and later at location "*multiuser storage 1* > (..../ android/odd) " .
