As far as I can tell dropbox for android doesnt make a mount point like it does on a PC, but the function is there. Could android be tricked into doing this?
Hello, i a, looking for for something like this aswell. The only posibility i know is dropsync, but this mirrors the dropbox to the local storage... It would be great to be able to Mount the dropbox like a network drive
Es file Explorer can add your dropbox folder as a share in its app. Actually it supports GDrive and Box too...

Yes but the share in not available to other apps as if it were mounted as another external SD drive. I want to use an encryption software but I need to point it to the encrypted file. For that the dropbox folder needs to look like an android system folder.

I have been looking for something similar. so far, (apart from apps like es file explorer) the closest i have found is [puts on protective suit] this
https ://github.com/arekzb/dropfuse
now - yes, I know that it is linux and not android, but given the similiarities in the systems (ducks flaming posts), it may server as a planning base for a (much smarter/more knowledgeable) person to expand upon.
My thoughts (possibly invalid) would be that the mount point could be created at/after(?) boot via some sort of script - not sure if this is even possible, but if it could be done, you could then potentially modify for other storage services.
Purpose's could be to - stream media, store files for online viewing/editing/reading etc...
******
update - just tested and have not got it working on my ubuntu system - possibly due to a backend dropbox change (or just me not being able to follow instructions)
*******
okay - so tried again and it works (for ubuntu) - help read instructions and google - works wonders
needed to install setuptools and pyquery, and it only works while the terminal window is open (there may be a way to run as a service or something - but not checked yet).
so all good - so far.
Did some checking and there is python for Android around, so am thinking (once i get a chance) I will try to see if i can emulate the linux success.....
Great for Ubuntu, any chance for Android
Hello,
Earlier today I got an OTA upgrade of my Samsung Galaxy S4 to Jellybean 4.3.
Everything is working great except for some reason my external SD card (A 64 GB SanDisk MicroSD) is read only. The only thing I can do with it is to format it. Otherwise all write operations to it fail.
I have tried two different cards and several different apps (Terminal, Astro File Manager for instance) and none of them can write to the device.
Is anybody else experiencing this issue or does anybody have any tip for how to solve it?
I am almost thinking it is a matter of a missing new permission but I can't find anything in the SDK docs about it (If this is the case that is fine because my main use of the card is a home made music player that I've written).
I have the same issue after updating to 4.3 yesterday - external SD card is mounted as Read Only after the update.
I have not seen it mentioned before, but It is quite possible that it is just part of the new "Google Experience" - Google has for a long time advocated having a single SD card and several of the tablet devices already had their external SD card mounted as read only in the past.
You can still write to it using MTP from a PC, but it is mounted as ReadOnly for the accounts that Android apps run on the device.
Of course it is possible that it is just a strange side effect (bug) in the upgrade process that is affecting only some devices.

Well, in some way I'm comforted that I am not going insane here.
I will be calling customer support but in a perfect storm for some reason yesterday my Google Wallet account was "suspended pending validation" and it supposedly takes 2-3 days for Google to verify it and you can't get to the support number for Nexus and Google Experience devices without access to your wallet account .
If I learn something I will be letting you know.
same thing happened to me when I updated my s4 to 4.3 made the external SD card into read only cannot modify it using android only if I connect it with my PC. I called Google today they told me that they have not heard of this issue before but they forward the info to there technical people and they will respond back eventually for an email and hopefully a fix. but I am glad to see I am not the only one dealing with this. hopefully Google will get this issue fixed.
ES File Explorer works, so its not impossible for other apps to get updated to work.
I've been looking into this, trying to work around the issue in my own apps. Regrettably don't have a GS4 GPE, but working with users and searching have so far discovered the following:
The underlying problem is that in Android 4.3 (at least on the GS4 G.P. Edition), an application's UNIX user id needs to be part of the group "media_rw" in order to write to the removable "external" SD card.
The "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" permission that almost every app out there uses is inadequate. That will get your app uid added to the group "sdcard_rw", which in the case of Android 4.3+GS4 G.P.E. is only good enough to write to the built-in storage.
The "WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" permission is required in order to have your app uid added to the group "media_rw". The problem is that this is a system protected permission. You can put this permission in your manifest, but you won't actually be granted it unless you're a system app. (Even tested this modification to FX File Explorer to make sure, and it still fails).
There does appear to be one solution available if you have root: modify the /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml file and grant the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission access to the group "media_rw". Source of this is here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-google-edition/303764-4-3-sd-write-access.html I have not personally tried this.

Hi!
I have the very same problem: some apps can access the external SD, some others do not.
I tried mount/unmount and root access in ES Explorer... but no way.
The freshly downloaded "Root Explorer" does have WRITE access to the ExtSD, but TBackup doesn't...
I am running Jamal 4.3 AOSP Rom on a EU i9505.
Any help is welcome!

"I was having the very same problem. I finally went into the computer management, and was about to throw phone across room....when I tried to format one last time. This time I unchecked the quick format. It is taking longer, but seems to be working...I am keeping fingers crossed.

I have found an issue with Music2SD. You must create the parent folders in your SD Card first. I will release an update to fix this most likely tonight. To get it working right now simply create the following folders in the root of your SD Card: /Android/data/com.google.android.music/

What file system are you using on your SD Card. Because Android does not have a built-in API for getting the location of the SD Card I'm left to parsing out the "mount" command and parsing out mount points that are using a FAT file system. On top of that the location for an SD Card is different per Manufacturer per rom. (If anyone know a better way of getting this information, please feel free to let me know.)

I actually had code in there to create the subdirectories. However apparently the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission only gives you permission to write on the device storage and not the actual SD Card. After doing some research the only way to write to the SD card is to be a system app with WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE permission or to do it through root. Seeing as I can't sign my app as a system app, I went with doing it through root. (This is why Music2SD asks for root when you open the app now.)
I also created a video showing how to setup Music2SD, it's on the Google Play Store listing and below:
IMPORTANT: If you have an issue where your external storage is not showing up there will be a new application in the main post called Music2SD-Debugger.apk. Please install and run this application. It's a simple app that gets the output of the "mount" command and puts it into an email. All you have to do is send the email and then I will analyze it and improve the SD Card detection. Android does not come with a built in method for detecting and getting the path of external storage devices, which is why I'm left to these weird and hacky methods of getting the SD Card path.
works like a charm but you have to delete the music stored in the old music folder and redownload (or move it all)
it is NOT moved automatically
though thanks, have been searching for something like this for months as the downloaded music unnessecarily fills up my /data partition thus making nandroid backups nearly impossible on my 16gb galaxy nexus
This module works great on my Galaxy S2, running SlimBean 8.1 (4.2.2) Only problem seems to be that all of my music is designated by number in the actual folder. Artwork appears to be all there and Google certainly recognizes what music is on the device, but using ES File Explorer to view the folder shows only numbers. Was this also true of the native folder? I never looked in it, so I don't know.

I'm having an issue where nothing happens. Granted root and enabled in Xposed.
It detects Internal Storage at /data and Device Storage at /storage/emulated/legacy. After plugging in my USB drive, it detects External Storage at /storage/usbdisk0. All is good. But no matter what I pick, it stays at the screen and nothing happens.
Nexus 4 on CM10.2.
Been simply using a symlink before stumbling upon this module (the default storage location is /data which is ext4).

Hello XDA, I'm new here and I haven't found any info regarding root on the aforementioned tablet. I know its only been out a short while and isn't anything to shake a stick at, however I believe that the ability to root and install custom ROMs on this device would allow it to run much smoother even with the low grade hardware.
Anyhow if anyone is willing to look into rooting I would be appreciative. I did find something where a fella tried kingoroot, towelroot, and one other method which apparently worked on the ellipsis 7, but had no success. If anyone else is in favor reply and let's get some attention. Thanks XDA.

It's a real shame that no one's done this. There are guys, here, that write whole ROMs for tablets they don't even own and no one's taken a shot at a root. Not being a coder, i can't but there are so many talented guys here i'm just really surprised someone didn't lean over, fart, and put out a root. lol.
Just no real demand for it for these tablets.
Verizon is charging more for these than what you would pay for a MUCH better tablet like a Nexus 7, or Gpad 8.3, etc...
The only people that are "buying" them, are the ones that VZW is giving away for free with you upgrade your phone and add the tablet to your data plan for $10 a month. If not for them giving them away for free, nobody would have one.

Hundreds of apps don't work with the small and incremental update? Like which ones?
For 1, I cannot imagine even having hundreds of apps... But the update was a small one, nothing significant, and I don't see why they would have stopped working?
Disabling writing to the SD is hardly incremental!
can't add new accounts
about half my created files on SD were deleted (save games, notes, configurations)
since existing files on SD cannot be changed, and new SD files cannot be created, the following apps will not function as I need them too, or fail to do anything:
roguelike classics
angband variants
angband
humble bundle app
es file manager
astro file manager
retro arch
and bible
hacker's keyboard
teamviewer for remote
teamviewer quicksupport
android VNC
scummvm
gdosbox
unipatcher
andftp
nesemu
snes9x
gbaemu
androgens
freeciv
That's just a few of the top of my head. Since some of those are emus, each adds hundreds more games and software that will not work (I own over 8000).

What format is your SD card formatted in? Maybe something changed with the update... like the Shield Tablet cannot write to the SD card if it is over 32GB and formatted with exFAT... it needs to be in NTFS for anything higher than 32GB...
Maybe the same case here? Try copying the files to your PC, format the SD card with your PC(and specify NTFS and defaults for everything else), not the tablet because the tablet will format in exFAT even if it is larger than 32GB...
Try that and see if it works.
My Ellipsis 8 is on the latest update, and I can read and write to the SD card just fine... Not sure what the issues are that you are having.
What size SD card do you have?
I have this tab, and rooted. It took me a while to get the right combination though. Go here (it's in Chinese): http://www.kingroot.net and click on the download button with the Android icon to download the kingroot apk. Find a way to install the downloaded apk to your tab. You are rooted. I didn't like the kinguser root manager so I used this Replace_Kingroot_With_SuperSU.zip to change to SuperSU for root managing. The zip is attached. Just unzip, copy the "mrw" folder to your tab and use adb as root (either terminal emulator or adb shell from your computer) to run this command:
sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
. Ignore the errors that may appear. After a while SuperSU will open and ask you to update binary. Do so and reboot. you are still rooted, but with SuperSU as root manager.
Now if only there were any custom ROMs...

Just want to start out by saying, I HATE HATE HATE how Android has to keep everything so secretive and hard to access. Android works great, but when you want to do something as simple as grabbing files from an app, everything tries its hardest to stand in your way from root access bs to apps detecting if Magisks non functional anti hide is on the system. Enabling root and using root file access apps are so damn useless and crash all the time. Worst part is, they don't even show the files you are looking for when you find the right directories so wtf, what's even the point. /rant
I have a game/app that stores files on my expanded SD card storage. The files get downloaded *somewhere* and my phone detects the 5 GB of storage its using. How can I find the exact directory my phone is using that calculates the size of the files, and how can I gain access to these files to copy over FTP / USB / ADB etc to my computer.
I've spent so many hours trying to figure this out. Closest I got was making ADB backup pulls for the app but the archive is corrupt / incomplete every time so nothing will extract in full.
My device is a Samsung Note 3 running Android 7.1 Lineage.
Figured I would come here for help since I bet there's some Android developers that know a simple trick or two to just extract some simple unencrypted files. Very very much appreciated for any tips or guidance!
