so27 Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 15, 2020 #1 Hello everyone, I can easily open the download folder of a device with the code: B4X: File.Combine(File.DirRootExternal, "Download") However, over time I have noticed that e.g. on Samsung devices with Android 10 the correct folder is not displayed here. Is there a general solution how I can access the download folder on every device?

Read more: android.jar / targetSdkVersion / minSdkVersion You can use ContentChooser to let the user select a file. Or ExternalStorage if you need full access to the folder. Upvote 0
