Bug report: Adding folder with files to an external storage using an Android 8 doesn't work.

EarthGuard0 opened this issue · comments

Describe the bug

Dragging the folder with any file type will work if you set your Android destination to your internal storage. However, setting it to any destination on the external storage gives you an error "[500] Could not save file", while my phone reports 'PathAccessException: Creation failed, path = "SD Card directory (OS Error: Permission denied, errno = 13)". I've also tried files and videos with no special characters in the filenames. It showed the same.

To reproduce

  1. Drag any folder with files on it to the localsend
  2. In android 8, set your destination to an external storage
  3. Click send
  4. See error

Expected behavior

Successfully sending folders with files to the external storage using Android 8.
