Hi. Is there any way to apply external storage permission without the dialog for it?
What I mean is, if I start a file explorer for example and want to copy a file to or from the external SD card, there comes a window which lets me grant access to the external SD card. Mostly it says that you need to select the SD card and then grant access.
And I don't mean the storage permission, which I can allow in the app info tab.
Is there a way to do this manually if an app requires this permission, but doesn't shows up this permission window?
Thanks in advance

hello, since android 6.0 an App need to request a permission through user click the permission dialog. so there isn't a way to manually, except system signature app, they can share a uid with system process which not need to ask a external sd card permission. hope to help you!

I'm using a gslate and I can't delete items from the internal storage. When I use File Expert or Astro to perform a delete, it gives me an error.
The device is rooted and I also tried to delete the items by using the terminal. When I run 'su' and then use rm *.* it says permission denied.
How can I fix this?
have you mounted it as read/write? root explorer gives you the option to toggle between r/w and r/o and i highly suggest you use it
Tried that...
Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, I've already tried that but it didn't work.
Again, this is user memory, not filesystem storage...
A user should be able to delete their own media. I can't
sounds like you might have a corrupted memory storage unit. like are you talking a sdcard when you say user memory or onboard device memory?
Onboard Memory
I'm talking about the onboard memory since this gslate doesn't take an sdcard.
OK here is the deal. I Am on ICS Ni8 And now 12 And I am having one heck of a time getting my external sd card to have write permissions. I can see the card when I go to menu,settings and storage. But when I go into Astro file manager and select External Memory I get Directory does not exist. Create? So I select OK. And then I get "error writing file". So, who would like to help me enable R&W permissions?

You're rooted of course? For Xoom WiFi, mounting the card using Root Explorer works. Don't know if Astro works with root.
I've noted a problem with SD Card permissions after updating to ICS. I am not rooted, and now that I have updated, it doesn't look like I can root now but the card appears to be Read Only for everything except the preloaded apps.
Any third party app (Astro, Chrome, etc) cannot save files to the SD card. I have to save the file on internal card and then use File Transfer to move it over.
I've found a few suggestions on how to fix it but it requires Root access. Does anyone have an idea how to change the permissions without Root?
Thanks in advance.
I don't think it's possible to change permission assigned to the sdcard2 (external sd), because the file you have to modify is in the system partition. It is possible if you have root permission on your tablet.
Bye ENx
You might use /mnt/sdcard2 instead. At least with ES File Explorer this works fine. Try to contact the developers of your Apps if they don't provide a configuration option.

That's not going to help. In ICS, the external SD is still mounted at /mnt/sdcard2, but now its mounted read-only for non-Sony apps. You would need root to remount the SD card if you want rw to sdcard2, so I've got nothing.

I'm not sure if I understand correctly. I successfully copied a file into /mnt/sdcard2 with ES File Explorer. A copy to /sdcard2 fails.
I'm at ICS.
Information on this issue: "Is Google blocking apps writing to SD cards" (I'm not allowed to post link)
Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried the /mnt/sdcard2 option but it still failed. I have several ways to work around it but it's just annoying that it can't be easily fixed.
I read where ICS 4.06 fixes this but no telling when Sony will release an update to that. I will probably just wait until I can root the device.
Thanks again.
i'm writing to sony support, it's really stupid that i can't access my SD with the file manager i like !
Won't see sd card
Hi guys, i have a problem.
I bought a new sd card and tablet won't see it.
But in phone that sd card could be read.
What is the problem?
I tried to format sd card but the same.
Also the sd card from phone could be read in tablet, that is strange
Make sure the SD card is formatted in FAT32 so the Tablet can read it.
How do I change permissions of files/folders on my external sd card, preferably with the ES File Explorer app? Is there a way to hide files/folders that are on the external card?
I can easily use it to change permissions of files/folders at the root level by accessing the "properties" option of said file, but I don't get this same functionality on stuff in my ext SD card... Am I missing something or is there some good reason why this is not possible (loaded question, I know)?
You don't set permissions in storage space...
To hide it, just put a . At the beginning of the name
For photos and videos you don't want showing in the gallery, put them all I'm the same folder, and then make a file named:
.nomedia
Then simply reboot.
i try to use folder mount after rooted my marshmallow, but the result was error. then i found with file manager hd that after upgrade to marshmallow, while i open sd card, it showing 2 folder, "storage>9c33-6bbd". what it is mean?
is there other way to enable data put to sd card? pls help
edit:
problem solved. just need to instal busybox and remount the folder mount.
to copy file from internal use file manager hd, setting enable root and change system
similar this problem
Samsung Note 4 just updated to Android 6.0.1.
My SD card used to be /storage/extSdCard, but after the update, is /storage/9C33-6BBD, breaking all internal app links that use the name.
Marshmallow renamed SD card. But now I can't guide the app to the external storage without root.
Set Oruxmaps to the new offline maps path. It appears "Error, Oruxmaps can't write in this directory".
So, no offline maps... I have to move them to internal storage... but there's not enough space.
Anyone else see this?
