@bodymindpower THANKS :+1: for the extension
It is working fine.

Suggestion :-
Can you please add When DownloadToASD1.Unsuccessful Yellow box in next update as in my project it’s needed.

@bodymindpower Is app specific directory automatically created in every phone upon app installation?

Yes, I guess so.

After downloading some images to ASD, when I try to set the source of image to the downloaded image path, it is asking for accessing permission.

The Image component requires READ permission. (→ Shouldn’t be like that .)
Therefore you must ask for READ permission (in this case).

Thanks for your time. :hugs: I have a question for you. So this error changes with the device? My app could work perfect or not according to the device which runs the app?
So I have to change method or I have to create a procedure to change the path if app get error? I’m right? Thanks

Use the EFile extension grom @vknow360 instead of the File component.

Is it a problem to do similar extension but with acces to internal storage instead of external storage?

From Android documentation:

Internal storage directories: These directories include both a dedicated location for storing persistent files, and another location for storing cache data. The system prevents other apps from accessing these locations, and on Android 10 (API level 29) and higher, these locations are encrypted. These characteristics make these locations a good place to store sensitive data that only your app itself can access.

I know that, but what does it have to do with this topic?

I just thought it’s a good place to ask about it as you dealt with the similar problem. Everyone is concerned about the external storage but the internal storage is missed in action.

I know that, but what does it have to do with this topic?

A lot of things. Is there any better place to ask about the internal storage? I would like to know if internal storage extension is hard to implement or there are other circumstances why you didn’t make it.
