It looks like they cannot be viewed from the phone itself anymore, not sure since when, the Android/data folder is showing as empty when viewed from the phone, but when i plug it into the laptop, all the files are showing no problem, at a loss, need to find a file manager for the phone that will show them all, if there is one....
This is informative
It all comes down to which user/group owns which folder/files. I believe file copy and move restrictions are tighter in Android 11, intentionally so, especially where "sensitive" folders inside the "Android" folder, such as "data" and "obb", are involved These locations are where most user-installed apps store information, anyway.
If you install an app like termux and use it with temporary super user rights you'll notice that folders inside your storage's "Android" folder belong to "root" and a group called "sdcard_rw", at least in my case. Usually, you can take a peek at what's inside the folders but you can't write into them, not unless you have root privileges. Since I needed to copy some files to the "data" folder I just used termux and sudo-ed the hell past those restrictions. You may be tempted to simply add your normal user to the "sdcard_rw" group but I strongly advise against it. Incase you accidentally install malware in your phone it might steal data or wreck havoc using your newly acquired group privileges. |
