Can't write to Android phone top level folders
Posted: 2016 Apr 27, 02:00
Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 running Android 5.0. I frequently copy files to and from the phone SD cards to my PC hard drive. I plug in via USB cable (because I've never seen anyone successfully use Bluetooth for anything twice in a row). But I only just noticed this.
Running Windows 10 and latest xplorer2 lite. I plug in USB and the phone appears with 2 top-level folders, the 'Phone' (internal card) and 'Card' (external card). In Windows Explorer, I can copy and write whatever I want to those top level folders. In xplorer2 lite I can write to the folders beneath them (Music, Videos etc in the Android file system, plus my folders on the external card), but I cannot write to the top level ones.
Anyone know why xplorer2 doesn't have permission or fails to write to the phone folders where Windows is fine?
Thanks
Adam
