The new Wear OS 4 no longer allows apps to access system files or folders, even the user giving permission. You can only access image, audio and video files.

For Wear OS 4 watch users, the app will now open in the only folder where you can manage and create files and folders, including sending and receiving files.

********** IMPORTANT 2 **********
This app IS NOT A RINGTONE MANAGER!
IT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SETTING RINGTONES!
It manages FILES and FOLDERS.

This app is draining my watch 4 battery. Not sure whats happening it just started. It does take a few minutes for the uploaded content to load on the watch and it does work but after having this installed for a few months it seems it may not be worth keeping if my battery is being drained.

Can't seem to set the download folder on my WOS4 OnePlus Watch 2 to the 'Download' folder on the watch.. which is where I'd like to store things. Pulling.my hair out a bit on this question... but great work writing this kind of really useful app!

Installed on my Samsung watch 7. It took a little bit to figure out but it works. The only thing that doesn't work is changing the notifications sound in the watch itself. When I try to go there it just crashes back to the settings. I believe someone else mentioned this in the reviews. I've restarted the watch and it still does it. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks! If it gets fixed, I'll change my rating 😊
