Literally got my priv 20 minutes ago. Load my SD cards which contains all my important info and can't find the damn thing. I'll call the helpline shortly but a friend suggested I check here as well.....
You have to download a file explorer to browse its files. ES File Explorer is well known. If you are attaching a file to a message, you can also access the sd card there, as far as I know.

Where? Marshmallow does, sure, but that's not on the Priv.
Try to install this application by Blackberry

I don't know why they didn't include it with the OS!

BlackBerry 10 didn't include exfat drivers by default either.
I'm guessing it's something to do with Microsoft's licensing deal.
Same problem, BB extfat from the play store fixed it.

You'll probably do more CABS, so I suggest creating a CAB folder on the root of your SD card... Easier to keep track, then.

You don't unzip it. You run the .cab file as it is.

Are you sure it isn't just a .cab? WinRAR opens them like they are zip files.

Can you not add it in the options, by shaking the phone while in the office app?
this doesn't appear to work. I have the HTC HD2. I open the office app and when I shake it nothing happens. Should it?

Is there a file manager on the phone, as i'm new to android and wondering where all the files once you've used them go via bluetooth.
Are they temp till you use them or stored somewhere?
Download the "Astro" file explorer from Market.
Received files can be found under:
downloads\bluetooth

ya they are stored in sdcard!!
interesting app, but it doesn't differentiate between sd card and onboard memory.
Is there a better app that also allows deleting?
Hello.
I am not sure if it is android wear problem. If it's not sorry then
On my phone using normal file explorer apps everything is ok.
But on android wear apps ( i tested 3):
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rocketstartups.wearfilemanager
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woiapp.filemanagerwear
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jppjff.fileexplorer
when i want to open "sdcard" or other directories they are saying "*name* unaccessible" or "no access".
How can I fix that?
Thanks for help
Based on the app comments, it seems to be a common issue.
I have tried one, and I see there is no permission. I have the same, I cannot read /storage, but I can read it using adb on computer.
I think that SD storage acces permission is missing in these apps.
I just sideloaded ES File Explorer because of the same problem. /sdcard/ is accessible with no issues

Which version did you sideload? I did the same and was unable to get ES to work. Crashed without opening.

Could you be so kind as to detail how to accomplish this? A friend needs to pull a watch face back off the watch to recover it from having been accidentally deleted from the phone.

Thank you kind sir. Had family issues that prevented me from reviewing and responding sooner but you deserved a reply and thanks![emoji6] [emoji106]
You need root access to view and access filesystem on the watch.
Many of my apps are having trouble reading or writing. ES file does not delete properly, the space stays occupied.
That shouldn't be an issue. Marshmallow fixed that. It should pull up a prompt to have you select the root of the SD card.
Not sure if this is related or not. I ran into an issue with Doggcatcher not reading my audiobooks since is unable to see my external sd card. Could just be Doggcatcher needing an update though.

ES File Manager has started using a recycle bin in it's newest versions. Just like in Microsoft Windows. You need to empty it and if you want you can turn that feature off like i did.

I checked that. The only way I get the space back is checking disk in Windows where it finds lost file chunks.

Do you think the es recycle bin caused it?

No it's turned off. I'm using es pro which is also failing to use root. I'm hearing pro is behind the free es but free es has malware so I'm not trying that.
Hi,
if i try to see a sub-folder of Android, my external file explorer (Solid explorer, Root explorer) only show an empty folder. The folder i try to see is this: Android/data. Are there certain restrictions of Android 11, which external explorer can't deal with? I don't have this problem with the intermal explorer and - surprise, surprise - with Total Commander (which i don't like so much...).
Anybody knows a solution or workaround to let other explorers look into these Folders?
Cheers
Clark
Seems like Google decided to restrict access to the Android/Data folder to "approved" applications.
Some other users said that Google Files (what a surprise) and Samsung Files work properly.
I usually use a root explorer, wich works fine, but otherwise most file managers probably won't be able to access the folder for a while.
Add MiXplorer and SD Maid to the list of working file managers. Hoping Solid Explorer gets updated soon!
I'm using root explorer just fine
I am rooted so if you're not then just root is easy

Try Solid Explorer and check if you see /sdcard/Android/Data/. Some file managers work and others don't even if you are rooted.

I'll be honest mate I've never needed anything else since root explorer was released.
Absolutely hate solid lol. Only other one I used to use was called Linda I think, G1 days
Xplore works, Solid Explorer 2.88 works as well
Using some of the recommended file explorers above didn't work for /sdcard/Android/Data/. Most of them were able to see /internal/Android/Data/ though. My Note 10+ wasn't rooted, and I wasn't planning on rooting due to the downfalls. I was able to see the files by mounting the SD card in Windows.
Mixplorer works great for me right now.

Yeah that's the last one I tried before mounting it to the PC. Now the question is which of these file explorers I should keep and finally replace ES File Explorer.

My vote would be Mixplorer. They have a few different themes, as well as add ons.
