External Storage Support (using Storage Access Framework) #50
Comments
We currently plan to allow another way to create "local" vaults für android >= 5.0. On such devices we can use the storage access framework to allow access to other storage media (if access is provided by the OS). This way it may be possible to access an external flashdrive - but actually I do not know if an external flashdrive is available this way. |
Thanks markuskreusch :) Sounds great. I can confirm that the storage access framework method worked with other apps with my device and OS. Other app such as at Ghost Commander File Manager. |
For others facing the same challenge but not familiar with Storage Access Framework (SAF) there is a developer documentation at https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/document-provider.html |
Hi, this will be an awesome feature I'm using Android: Android 7.1.1 External storage works fine with other apps like ZArchiver. Thanks in advance. |

Description
Creating a new vault on Android internal storage works great :) I searched but found no option to create a vault on external storage. How do we do that? I tried to navigate outside the internal storage directory but found no way to do that. I also try to select another volume, the external storage, but also found no way to do that. By "external storage" I mean a removable storage media such as SD card or flashdrive connected to the Android device via its USB port.
If that feature is not yet available for Android then this ticket is a suggested new feature. We would be happy to contribute testing and documentation.
