making files visible

[ra]

please advise: I need a files manager who can see ALL files in android13, i.e. the osmand data in android > data > net.osmand.plus. all files managers I have tested so far just show empty folders. thanks!

Cx file Explorer might work but I don't run android 13.

I'm pretty sure you'll need to root your phone for that -- after which several, or maybe all, file managers will see everything. Un-rooted Android doesn't let apps look into the storage area of other apps. Seems like a silly restriction to me, and makes Android a lot harder to use.

If someone knows otherwise, I'd be very happy to be proven wrong.

Still with Android 12, not rooted and able to see osmand files folder in full. Use this to copy that folder to my PC as backup and also to copy it to a cheap older Android phone that I carry in my motorcycle just for gps navigation.

Have resisted so far the next Android update ;-)

Try the Total Commander

like with all the others with total commander file manager too all osmand folders are shown empty. my 9gb of maps are nowhere to be seen, with no file manager whatsoever. and I do not want to root my phone ...

Doesn't work with Android 14 either. However, can see Osmand subdirectories and upload tracks to Osmand from Windows 10 PC using Windows File Explorer.

There is an internal file manager that may be the only way to access these files. It is probably hidden by design however but can be accessed by an app available on Google Playstore called "Files" (by Marc).

See https://droidwin.com/how-to-access-android-13-data-and-obb-folder-transfer-files-in-them/

You may need to set it into split screen or floating window mode to copy and move files. I didn't have to disable my standard file manager unlike the instructions in the link.

[ra]

as many before (and most of the comments on the above page) I just can add that it is not possible (here). like with all the other "helpful" apps the net.osmand.plus-folder is shown as being empty, in obb as well as in data. with which android did you manage do get it to work?

[Roberto Petitpas]

Dear Osmanders, I use normal Android and I have plenty access to the Osmand data folder, which I entirely copy to my laptop from time to time. It has everithing in it.

The path in my Samsung is:

/Android/data/net.osmand.plus/files

Have great routes

I'm sorry if my magic fix didn't work for you!
My Oppo A74 5G just updated itself to a newer version of Android 13 and i lost all access to Android/data files until I found the fix I mentioned earlier.

FWIW Google says access via a connected PC is still ok.
