I have a Huawei Mate 10 Lite (RNE-L21) on Android 7.0 and EMUI 5.1 .
Ive just Put in my micro sd card from my old samsung galaxy A3 but everytime i try to editiert something with es file Explorer, it doesnt work! The Same thing happens when i use a micro usb stick.
Do I jede to give ES file Explorer permissions to Accessoires my sd card manually? Or does it habe something to do with the fat that i used it with my old Phone before?
Also, when i try to make a Backup of my Phone with TWRP Custom Recovery, it also says it cant create the files on my sd card when I choose it.
Haß anyone tot a solution to this?

This might be a permission problem.
Try the following steps.
You will need ES File Explorer and I hope your phone is rooted.
Open ES File Explorer.
Turn on root explorer in the slidemenu.
Go to /system/etc/permissions
Tap and hold platform.xml
From Open With, select ES Note Editor.
Find the line
<permission name=”android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE” >
Add a new line
<group gid="media_rw"/>
Now save this file, exit the ES File Explorer and reboot your phone.
You will be able to write to your sdcard and other external storage.
HIT THANKS IF FOUND USEFUL.
Thanks a lot! And yes, my phone is rooted. I'll definitely try to do that.

I have searched and searched and cannot seem to find a solution for my problem.
I have just flashed v1.9.1 Resurrection Remix ROM and that went fine.
The only problem I am having is that I cannot view my 32GB external SD card in the File Explorer app, how I can fix this?
But the photos, videos and stuff appear in the gallery.
(In the app it won't let me jump to EMMC either which I assume is my external sd card)
Thanks.
Try this:
Open up File Explorer and hit menu, select "Preferences"
Change the home folder to "/" (make sure "read root" is selected)
Restart the app
You should now be presented with a list of the phone's root folders, just select emmc and your stuff should be in there.
Hope that helped

Hi,
I bought a z2 yesterday. formatted my old 16gb microsdcard to use in my z2. I can see the folders and the phone can read my card. So i tried to download a file directly to my external card but it showed me a error lik "no valdi folder" or something like that. After i tried to create a new folder in my card using a file explorer but it gives me a error "operation stopped". Any idea why and any solution?

On Android KitKat applications aren't allowed to modify the files on the SDcard. They are only allowed to place files in their own folders on the SDcard (/SDCard/Android/data/app_name if I remember correctly).
You can fix this only by gaining root access and modifying build.prop.

So this means i cant save any file to my external sdcard?
rooting wouldnt be a problem.. but editing the build prompt..?

Uch, I was wrong about the build.pro. Actually you need to modify "/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml".
Here is some reference:
http://jrummy-apps.com/fix-sdcard-on-kitkat/
Root access is essential.
You can create a folder if you use the file explorer that came pre installed on the z2, all downloads go to internal storage but can be moved to sd card with 'file commander' this is the only app that can create and move folders to the sd card, apps such as astro and es explorer no longer have the permission.
Maybe I misunderstand the problem, but PocketCast can download and save the files to SD card without any problem. So, if this one can...
Yes PocketCast CAN write to the SD card, but only in its own folder, not everywhere. And it could write to a public folder (there are some defined in the Android SDK).
See Jackos post above...
Only software that is installed as system software may modify the files on the SDcard outside their personal folder. For example the build-in file manager.
File Commander (The built in file manager) is able to read and write to external SD. Use it instead of any other third party file manager app.
Hi guys,
a question. Does a unrooted LG V10 don't have permission to edit / change things on an external SD Card? I thought on Android we would be past such issues. Funny enough, the Camera doesn't seem to have that issue. Its saving all my pictures on the external SD card fine, yet if I try to copy a file to the external SD card, or try to edit a file there, I appearantely don't have the permissions. Is that normal?

I think you have use the LG file manager to move, copy and paste. I have the same problem with unrooted Mega 2.
That works indeed, but that File Manager is bad as *****... I always used ES File Explorer since forever. Now you're saying i can only use LG File Manager until there is a valid root solution? Oh damn...
Gesendet von meinem LG V10
Explorer by ES software lets you move files to the SD card. When picking a location, you just hit the three dot menu at the top right and hit "show SD card" and it will work.
It's not that i can't access the sd card directory or so, but I can't copy an files onto it via the ES File Explorer. That's the issue. But why can the Camera app do it, when saving pictures, but I can't do it from inside the file manager. When i copied music files via USB from my PC to the SD card, there was no issue as well.

I use root explorer. I bought it years ago. It works great for me on my v10. Mind you i have a vzw version. Im NOT rooted. It doesnt need root for regular file management. Dont be confused by the name
Es file Explorer writes to sd just fine for me. I'm not rooted.

hi
i changed on a different ROM and ES File Explorer can't perform file encryption on my external SD card anymore
but it was ok on my previous ROM
i tried different ROMs (based on CM13 also) but i still cant encrypt files on my external SD card
i always clean flash (wipe data/system) when i changed to a new ROM
thank you
(error says like this)
Could not open file /storage/

It is a MM limitation, even with Root access, ES cannot decrypt these files on SD any more! You can move the files to sd/android/data/(es folder)

Nope. I had used ES encyption at extsdcard in my LG Magna with stock MM and worked fine.
But i can't use in Samsung Galaxy Note II with RR rom 7.1.2.
I can encrypt only at storage/extsdcard(or anything)/android/data/com.estrongs.android.pop/ folder. The file that you want to encrypt, must move to the folder.
Problem solved. You need rooted phone and with Lucky patcher or Titanium backup app convert ES file explorer to system app.
With this you will be able to encrypt/decrypt on internal or sd card memory.
This worked for me.
But be careful, it will erase your .eslock encrypted files (this happend to me ) so backup your encryped files.
I can copy/move files from internal storage to SD Card if I use the built-in file manager. However, if I use any 3rd party file manager, the operation will fail. It is as though the SD Card is read-only. I can copy from the SD Card to internal storage just fine.
I've tried ES File Explorer, File Manager Pro, Solid Explorer and they all failed. I've given grants to write to the root of SD-Card. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
Try with a real file manager like
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.mixplorer

I have exactly the same problem. I tried with solid, mix without success.

Mixplorer works great. Root Explorer also works.
Thank you for your recommendation!
I really don't get it. At first, nothing works. Then when I install Root Explorer and grant storage access to the root of the SD-card, it immediately works.
Then I tried MiXplorer and it also works. Now when I return to Solid Explorer and it is working now.
What's going on? Does Root Explorer unlock something which makes it "click"? I don't get it at all. I only hope it is reliable in the long run and not switching "on" and "off" randomly.

Root Explorer has been the ultimate for me. I bought the paid version when it first came out years ago. It always acomplishes whatever task I need it to do.
Not Working
Not working for me.. I am using Honor V10... recently, I installed the android 10 (EMUI 10) update via ota (over the air). I have tried Root Explorer, ES file manager pro, but no file manager is able to write to external card except default file manager (which is pre installed)
PS: My phone is not rooted.

I still have the same problem...
I have a new P30 Pro and Nano SD card Just arrived.
I can write (and read) the card by external reader, connecting the phone via USB to a PC, etc. etc.
But when the card is on the phone I can only use Heawei file manager!!!
I have enable the option allow apps to write to external card.
I've just update on EMUI 10 build 10.0.0186
I can't beleive I tried a lot file manager and also some alternative app like quickpic and no one works good!!!!

After enable the option allow apps to write to external card, I tried to disable developer settings.
Also tried to active some app I've disable before... 2 app, default browser and HiCare!

I tried installing every single Root Explorer there is in the Play Store, but none worked.

I enabled the default browser and the HiCare app (actually they were not disabled, so I just opened them to complete their setup) but this did not help either.
I even formatted the memory card (using my phone "format card" option) and then reset my phone to factory defaults and set it up again from the beginning without restoring backups.
I still have not found a solution to thus issue, though.
Any ideas anyone?

I had to instal FX file commander to get SD card write permission....I can't make it stick, every time I reboot I have to reset the sd card write permission.
I have similar problems relating to this thread on my mate 20 pro after updating to Android 10 (EMUI 10). I've tried all the methods mentioned here and it worked briefly before restarting the phone. After restarting the phone, it went back to being unable to copy files to External Storage.
I noticed that i was able to delete and rename files on the external storage but i just can't seem to copy anything into it.
I can copy files from the external card to internal storage but not the other way around.
Tried using MiXplorer, the only way i can copy files into the external card is by this method:
i copied the file and it shows error, but there's an image of the file created on the external card with 0 kb. Then i overwrite the file and replacing the '0 kb' file and it worked. And another method to just to use the built-in file manager which is a pain to use and the UI are crappy.
It was a lengthy method and therefore I decided to downgrade to Android 9 for now.
I also noticed i can't change the download directory of my Ttorrent app to any folder of my choice in external storage.
anyone can suggest a better method to overwrite this external drive issue? Thanks in advanced.

This this the "official" reply at the Huawei forums:
https://consumer.huawei.com/en/comm...-disabled-for-3rd-party-apps-!/topicId_90489/
Now, what I've come to notice is the following:
- All Huawei and Google apps I have tried, do have access to the memory card (e.g. Google Maps is allowed to save its offline maps on the SD card, the same for Google News and the articles it downloads)
- Some 3rd party apps do have access. E.g. Here We Go maps can save its maps on the external card. ASR Voice Recorder can save its recordings to a specific memory card folder, the one that is automatically created -on the card- by the app when it is installed on the phone. Maybe there are other app that we will find they can, too.
- So it seems that the rule is not general, as Huawei implies at that thread I have posted above.
My biggest concern was that MixPlorer has now limited use, and this is kind of sad as it was my favorite explorer.
Huawei Files manager is not bad, it's actually quite OK, but it bothers me that you cannot add 3rd party clouds on it. If it had that option I would be happy with it. I like it that it has that "favorites" option. For now I have created a folder "My Archives" on the internal memory and I initially save almost everything there (e.g. my Nova Launcher backups). Then I use Huawei Files manager to move them to the external memory card on the folders I want.

Hey that's a good idea of creating a temp folder on your internal drive before using Huawei file manager to transfer everything out to your external card. However it requires additional steps to get it done but it's a good idea nonetheless. Thanks for that suggestion. For me i'm so used to be using solid explorer to do all my file operations as it has google drive integration which makes it easy n fast to transfer between drives. So i guess my best bet is to downgrade to android 9, it's just much more comfortable to work with and in my opinion, android 10 is not that big of a deal and not much substantial changes anyway. Hehe.
Every reboot I always have this facing problem!
Sometime I must reboot because my smartphone switch off for low battery....
When I reboot try to disable and re-enable the special option in developer menù, also try to uninstall and after install again the memory card (from setup/memory menù).
After that try to copy some file to memory card with default file manager an default Gallery...
Sometimes it is enough sometimes I have to try more and more... But after several time it works!
