Unable to create folder or unzip file into said folder

Just to clarify, the directory one level down from the Downloads folder

Well, this is not the root directory you were talking about previously, this is a subfolder of /Download what I suggested from the beginning of this thread

@Taifun

You do not have access to the root directory of the emulated sdcard anymore… use ASD as @Professional suggested or use shared shorage, i.e. for example /Download/test

For example /Download/test
Or as full path /storage/emulated/0/Download/test

Note: it is /Download and not /Downloads

@AvaGoosa

To access the external storage, READ_ or WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission is needed.

This is valid for older devices, for newer devices not anymore, see again Some basics on Android storage system
