@vknow360
I am understanding the concept.
Can i create folder they way you create document in your example 2
…
My requirement is to create folder inside the Document folder after giving permission to the Document folder
…
The file component is not able to create that

#23

Yes, you just need to set correct mime type and then you will get folder uri in DocumentCreated event.

here is my block

i was trying to access this

/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.NotMy.app/files/hereText.txt

this path is other app not my app

like file manager have access to other app-specific directory

but when i call .OpenDocumentTree block it show the /storage/emulated/0/

#26

I guess it is possible to access /Android/media dir.

You can’t access this path.

:sweat_smile: can you made it please if possible

#31

Yes @vknow360 can do this but i think then some crazy hackers can use that in illegal way also as the extension will have full access to storage so anything can be installed /done even etc :thinking:

Note :- i am not pro in this :sweat_smile: so please correct me if i am wrong :pray:

I think documentUri should be file storage path not an online URL.

#41

it means this extension only for offline documents ?

#42

Well, the extension is made to work with storage files not with online files
