Since the Android xi update, I have been unable to access the Android/data folder through Samsung's "My Files" app. This appears due to the storage updates in Android 11 where the "organisation farther restricts your app'south access to other apps' private directories" (Android 11 Storage updates). So far the just app I found that can access these directors is the Files app past Marc apps & software, however it'southward simply read permissions and I cannot write to the directory. The last alternative is to connect to a computer and gain full read/write admission through USB.

Has anybody establish a mode to bypass these storage restrictions without root?

Total Commander ( Play shop free version ) can also access Android /data .
No root ,
I'm on Android xi .
I utilise it eg......to copy /move "items" from the data folder , to to some other directory .
Yet don't know if it will suite your "needs"

Yea, that one is a skilful idea. Apps that doesn't need root access to access those files.. however with root, everything becomes easier. There are lots of file explorer with "root access" features that should assist you lot access those files easier.

Firstly, I have a
branded ... SM-N986B/DS...
No root, stock etc.
.. then i open the ..

Total Commander app....
then go
Device /Internal shared storage /Android / information......

If you even so have issues accessing information folder, then it could be "something else" on your device..?.... blocking you from accessing... Android /information folder..?

See attached screenshots (numbered 1,2,3,four,5)
Skilful luck.

Since the Android eleven update, I take been unable to access the Android/data folder through Samsung's "My Files" app. This appears due to the storage updates in Android 11 where the "system further restricts your app'south admission to other apps' individual directories" (Android xi Storage updates). So far the but app I found that can admission these directors is the Files app by Marc apps & software, however it's only read permissions and I cannot write to the directory. The last alternative is to connect to a calculator and gain full read/write access through USB.

Has anybody found a manner to featherbed these storage restrictions without root?

Yes young man! Somehow I bypassed this restriction.Download File Manager Plus from this link- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alphainventor.filemanager and give it access to your phone.It will work...

What about the data folder on the SD card still cant admission it with anything

Information technology all comes down to which user/grouping owns which folder/files. I believe file copy and move restrictions are tighter in Android 11, intentionally so, especially where "sensitive" folders inside the "Android" folder, such as "data" and "obb", are involved These locations are where nigh user-installed apps store data, anyway.

If yous install an app like termux and use it with temporary super user rights y'all'll notice that folders inside your storage'southward "Android" folder belong to "root" and a group chosen "sdcard_rw", at least in my case. Usually, you lot can take a peek at what's inside the folders just yous can't write into them, not unless you lot have root privileges. Since I needed to copy some files to the "information" folder I simply used termux and sudo-ed the hell by those restrictions. You may be tempted to simply add your normal user to the "sdcard_rw" group but I strongly advise confronting it. Incase y'all accidentally install malware in your phone it might steal data or wreck havoc using your newly acquired group privileges.

You can easily plug your phone to any pc
No restrictions there

At outset . Only data folder was restricted. So on of the security patches update fabricated obb binder restricted equally well

• #fourteen

At beginning . Only information folder was restricted. And then on of the security patches update fabricated obb folder restricted every bit well

Did you try to utilize a terminal emulator with root privileges to access the folders?

• #16

Did you try to employ a concluding emulator with root privileges to access the folders?

• #17

Problem is that it's causing certain apps (such as AntennaPod) to fail when attempting to store data where information technology always has - ie in android/data (whether on internal disk or ext-sd). Has anyone institute a way to change/restore the one-time permissions?

• #19

File manager + wins hither. Let's yous read and write to android/data
Full commander can just read, are least on a moto device

You saved me so much trouble correct now I cannot cheers plenty.

Long story curt, I had fabricated a TWRP backup earlier updating my Android eleven ROM (droidontime from 5.one.3 to 5.2) but it failed to restore and did something similar to this (which meant I lost access to my 2fa app - authy, and would have to reset all the 2fa tokens if I wanted to recover admission to the account). I did not desire to have to reset all my 2fa tokens and ready them upwardly again so I was determined to find another way to restore admission.

Since apps like titanium backup and swift backup were able to backup/restore authy's data for me in the by I figured there must be a folder where information technology stores the files for the accounts and such.

I had to manually extract the files from the corrupted? TWRP backup using the "less hacky solution" from this post. I found the files for "data/data" and "data/user_de" and such, but copying them in that location with Solid Explorer using root seemed to take no effect when launching authy (plus some of the copy operations seemed to fail besides). So I tried Total Commander with root instead afterward seeing your post here, and copied all the files at that place but I too copied them to "/data_mirror/data_de/null/0/com.authy.authy". I finally tried launching the app again and I was shocked to see I HAD Admission Once again!!!!! Thank you then much.

I am non sure this method will work for all apps, but this merely saved me so much problem and hassle and I cannot thank you enough.
