SD Card permission

Hello,

I can’t use my SD card on my Fairphone 6.
I’ve looked through several threads on this forum. Some of them mentioned a fault with the card.
Even though I’m using a brand-new SD card, I can’t get it to work. No matter which app I use, I keep getting a permissions error. I can’t even copy files to the card using the OS’s file manager.

Thanks in advance for your advice.
Have a nice day

There have certainly been SD card Work items created

Fairphone does have a support page

https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/10489306843409-How-to-set-up-a-microSD-card

There is a FP5 forum user guide

✏ List of compatible micro SD / SDXC cards for FP5 - Guides - Fairphone Community Forum. (FP6 not found.)

Seems necessary / best to format the card as External / Portable on device.

Hello,
Thank your for your response.
I replaced my SD card with a Philips one.
I followed your recommendations and formatted the card using the phone.
But it only works well for a few days at most.

Have a nice day

Sorry to hear this.

Somewhat the same position as Does not allow files to be copied to the SD card. Follow on is SD Card Fairphone 6 I give up.
