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

#15

The storage permission is already granted, can you give me any test AIA?

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.

The File component uses different paths (relative / absolute) for methods (blocks). In this case (.ReadFrom) the relative path is needed.
