Documentation:

Reads text from a file in storage. Prefix the fileName with / to read from a specific file on the SD card (for example, /myFile.txt will read the file /sdcard/myFile.txt ). To read assets packaged with an application (also works for the Companion) start the fileName with // (two slashes). If a fileName does not start with a slash, it will be read from the application’s private storage (for packaged apps) and from /sdcard/AppInventor/data for the Companion.

I think you need to test as apk.And try:
/File2String/File.txt

Did you tried /File2String/File.txt
Also does you file exist.Take card that it case senstive.Means that File and file aren’t the same.
Also try with the complete path:
/mnt/sdcard/File2String/File.txt

Did you build or just test in the Companion? Either way, if I’m correct, Kodulars file component prepends /storage/emulated/0 to your file. Can you test just /File2String/File.txt after creating the file for me?

@Mohamed_Tamer may have been correct by this post if you haven’t tried it yourself @Business_World.

Which is why I gave you credit for the original solution… because I don’t like when people mark others responses as a solution when I originally gave it to them, so I feel that others take it the same way as I do.
