The problem is I have tried it several time it doesn't work no matter what I do It show :- application not founded Or permission granted but still same story

S22 Ultra - every time I try to give X-Plore "special access to internal storage" (the android/data folder), when pasting a copied file. it fails. Trying to copy a file from a data folder to downloads folder for uploading to Drive (or any folder that will allow transfer to PC). How to you get around this?
I think you can connect your phone to your Pc with the charge wire(usb), then you can enter to the android data folder in your Pc, thats let me copy a file from my phone to my pc, but you cant copy a file from pc to your phone.
Android has been so annoying lately especially after 11. I can view files in data folders, but cant move or copy anything, so I cant move saves from my games. Might as well just stick to iPhone and jailbreak the damn thing at this point
I found the source of the problem, why the x-plore application does not see hidden files. The culprit turned out to be another system application: Files, which some time ago got a newer update in which they disabled the ability to grant permissions to the android folder. The solution is very simple, just delete the application data: Files, and uninstall the update restoring it to the original version. In my case it helped, finally I can grant permissions to access hidden files. Checked on android 12.
I wanted to play Doom on Delta Touch (Doom source port for Android) and couldn't copy the game files into the port's folder, because it's located in /android/data. Now I can - thanks to this video! Thanks!
I am experiencing this specific issue, I used Winrar for android and was able to extract the files to the folders, but couldn't move the files from there.
Do you have a solution for the same but for Chromcast TV (Google TV) with Android 12? Since Android was updated we no longer have access to the ANDROID/DATA folder, all kinds of external apps have been tried to try to access it, but Chromcast TV doesn't even have its own "default file manager" anymore. to generate those permissions to third-party App. I have entered several forums and all report the same problem. With version 11 of Android there was no such problem. Thank you
I have a Mecool KM2 AndroidTV box which recently updated from Android 10 to 12 and I'm no shut out of the Android/Data folder. The options involved in this workaround aren't available on the box.
I have a question... How to revert these given permissions? I copied what i needed to the data folder and now i want to have it protected again, yet i can't seem to find a way how to do that.
It just keeps asking for access to Android/media I click accept it says it failed to copy the file and then asks for access again to tell me it failed to ask for access in a loop
I tried but on multiple file managers not all apps show up in obb. GTA San Andreas used to show up in obb a few months ago when I installed it, but I uninstalled and only recent redownloaded but the obb folder for the game is hidden.
Please sir, I lost some files from the notepad app on my Android 12 and I'm trying to access the older saved files on my phone storage incase I find them there. If I download this app, will I have access to older notepad files/data? Thank you for the video 🙏
It isnt working with my third party file manager, the problem appears to be in native file access app, which wont even show the contents of android folder, no data folder shown. Anyone have this problem?
Hello sir why i try on red magic 7 still can't copy and paste and i already follow the directions and its still say file can't move it...need help sir...
Nice video munchy but I have a question. I watched your call recording video, so recording is working great. Im on A11 and have Magisk. I cannot access the data/data folder. The Solid Explorer, X-Plore, Amaze Apps say "Since Android 11 the app has limited access to this directory" BUT I can access that folder with FX File Explorer. Is there anything that I can do for this accession problem? Or should I wait for the Solid Explorer update?
i can access and copy a file inside data and i can access a folder inside data but i stil can't copy a file inside a folder that is inside data. So i doesn't solve my issue...
Doesn't work, you need a ROOTED phone. Just send me to screen where I have to click "acces This folder" but doesn't give access to obb for privacy reasons.... Bullshit video
So why don't you give me that file that you put in there? After all, if you don't have a file to put in the obb data, you can't do it. You just tell me how, and you don't give me
I think Zarchiver is one of the best file manager which has simple ui, allowing us to manage root files also(only for root user), built in compressor and extracter, and especially has 0 adds. It also allow user access android/data and obb folders. You should give it a try. I installed both solid explorer and Zarchiver at the same time, and I liked Zarchiver lot cause of simple, add-free ui
I can view inside data and obb folders but certain folders under data folder will not allow me to view, copy / paste into them. Using a pixel 6 pro on android 12
By the way, how do I reset the pop up about asking me if I allow the app access? It never asked me that just says "access denied" on xplore and even clearing the data and reinstalling doesn't seem yo reset the prompt about allowing xplore access to obb and data.
when I try to move a file in a folder that is in "data" it tells me that it is impossible to do any kind of action and therefore I cannot do anything. Android 12 sucks pls someone help me
for those who can't access with Android 12+, use your laptop for such operations. it's working perfectly using the file transfer option by connecting your phone to laptop via usb cable
False,,, doesn't work in Samsung anyway. What a dog's breakfast of an app. Looks fancy but doesn't do anything except ask for permissions. Super sketchy.
@@munchy_cool the reason i like it is it has many options it has addon for pdf reader and archiver manager and codec support for MiX Player {alternative for MX Player (no ads)} and has image utility library and has tag editor and metadata library it additional works as root explorer if rooted and transfers rate is awesome.
Really strange that Files by Google doesn't allow access to this, but third party file managers do allow it. Kinda frustrating but whatever
Can you tell me how to acess with easy step
It kinda kills the meaning of Android it's slowly becoming like apple

Maybe you should try it's mod apk it worked for me and doesn't even asks for anymore permission except for allow access to all files
Androids file system guidelines changed now and it's B's you can't be able to access the android data folder anymore like wtf

Finally someone who understands the issues and a solution thanks
I already use all file managers but failed 🤦 still can't access to obb files
