Suddenly can't copy app data from SD card to android/data. Why?

Samsung S10e with latest build of /e/OS

I just yesterday started using /e/OS and it’s great. Just a few things to sort out.

When I first installed it I was able to copy the Whatsapp folder with all my images to the internal storage Android/Data but know I can’t anymore. Even when using a FV file explorer + Shizuku. it shows me a pop up and I can’t acess anything.

And yes I can access the folder with the built in file manager but when I try to copy and paste the folder is empty.

There is maybe some insight in this thread Does not allow files to be copied to the SD card (??)

But did you try to correctly remove and reinsert the SD card. Also they do not last for ever may be a reminder to backup the SD card which would also confirm the card can read write by PC

Okay thanks will check chat out.

but not the SD card. from the SD card to the internal storage emulated/0/android/data

so far I’ve found that newer Android versions have SAF (Storage Access Network) which doesn’t allow to access some parts of the internal storage.

SD card is fine. I can vopy to it or from it.
