Hi, I’ve been using material files on Android, and I especially like how you can share anything to it, and it will give you the option to save it as a file.
However, recently, it has lost its ability to save files. I think it doesn’t have permission anymore, with no ability to reenable. So, I was wondering if anybody else can recommend a good file browser and file manager for Android?
Edit: thanks for the recs! I’m trying them out.
What happens when you hit save? I get get that far but afterwards I get permission denied.
Edit: seems like it is only/mainly for certain images. I’m trying to find an example.
Are webp files giving you a hard time? They’re a pain in the butt.
Yeah I think that’s it! What’s the hangup?
Webp’s are the biggest pains in the butt. I hate them. Very few apps that I use support sharing them. I usually have to take a screenshot of the webp, save it as something that’s not an idiot format, and THEN share it. I don’t have anything against the format, itself, I just wish it was more widely-supported.
I just don’t get why the error would say permission denied when I try to save it with material files. Shrug!
The rest makes sense I’ll probably do that.
It saves the file and it works. I think there might be a permissions issue with some images (are the images part of a particular album/folder? Are they all from a certain app? etc.)
Double check the permissions of Material Files, maybe you have it set to something like “only allow images I select”
