From my workstation desktop with the phone connected using USB and MTP turned on (Verizon hide this)
This PC\SAMSUNG-SM-N915V\Phone\Android\data\com.ds.avare\files - no files listed This is equal to your external folder path: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.ds.avare/files
This PC\SAMSUNG-SM-N915V\Card\Android\data\com.ds.avare\files - no files here - I created this by moving the database.zip tree here but the app could not find it and I couldn't change where the app is looking
Have to say this method does not work, files not found yet are there.
Using the File browser on the phone I find:
Local storage > Device storage > Android > data > com.ds.avare > files and there be files!
I followed the direction and added /sdcard/Android/data/avare/files to my sd card then selected 'try using SD card folder', selected file and let them download the results ended up:
Local storage > Device storage > Android > data > com.ds.avare > files
This is all very confusing, the issue of not being able to see the files from my PC is probably another Verizon way of protecting me from myself.
