Fantastic file app! I'm on android 13, rooted. I can access /Android/data/com.*/ and I can see all files inside these restricted data inside it. I can copy and move them to either internal sdcard, or even on my microsd card/external microsd 100%. Even my default file explorer cannot touch those directories, let alone go down that deep! I just wish they would add the feature to view the files in "thumbnail" mode so its easier to see cached videos so we can easily see w/o opening the file first.
I just got a new Android 14 phone and the file manager apps I usually use would not grant access to non system folders in internal or SD storage. I would be told to choose the top tier but then it would say "you can't use this folder, create a new folder" and then it denied access to those too. Horrible time trying to figure it out, couldn't, and so looked for an app that would work. THIS ONE WORKS. I am so relieved. Thank you! 🐸
Access is available on my devices. An A71, SM-T970, and my Amazon tablet. Thank you so much ! I am a power user in need of full access. It was once available, but no more. ES File Mgr was my go-to app. Then they messed up and are now history. This app is my replacement. I'd be lost without it as I transfer data between all 3 devices and a multitude of sdcard backups. Again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH ! (thankyouthankyouthankyou- bowing very ungracefully at your feet)
