Hi,

Is this Android 10 (with scoped storage)?

Not sure if you need premium to access the external SD card.

Does FileExists(/storage/0403-0201/Music/...) return true?

Regards, ah

It's android 6. In docs it doesn't show as premium feature.

FileExists return true. it's a song that i play.

I agree that the docs aren't clear on this subject but making changes to files on the external sd card such as writing or deleting is a Premium only feature, requiring the use of chPermission and getPermission

More details are available for premium users in the sample "Sdcard access" near the bottom of the list of samples
