Hallo. When I updated my Samsung Galaxy 5 to Android 6 I have lost access to Ankidroid folder because of changing path (alias) to the munted card. There is a new storage alias name convention in Andr.6.0 and before SD card was named "extSdCard" but now it names "SD_serial_number". This will be changed too if you try to change SD card to other one (i.e. greater). I tried to edit folder path in Anki settings but I have received message, that it is not proper folder. What can I do?

It is very very important to fix it..., not only for me :)

Best regards

You should check the correct path with a file manager and set it accordingly. But note that SD cards aren't officially supported and we can't guarantee they'll work.

Thanks for your answer. But as I wrote I tried to change this path to proper (reeded in Total Commander - "/storage/18D5-A4FD" instead
early "/storage/extSdCard") but Anki says that is not correct folder.

Maybe dash "-" in the name is a problem? What can I do if I can't change alias name for SD card?

As I said, SD cards aren't officially supported and might not work (see issue #3106). I can't help you with this any further.

Thanks for your answer. I have moved Anki folder to internal storage and then it works OK…

But question is about future and your plans. Will you work on SD card suport in Ankidroid?
