Hey! This is a common issue on Android 11 and above — including Android 13 on your Galaxy A32. Due to Google’s new security policies, direct access to Android/data and obb folders is restricted for all file managers, even if you give them permission.

Here's how you can try to fix or work around it:

Option 1: Use a PC

Connect your phone to a computer via USB.

Then open the Android/data folder from your PC and copy your files there. This is currently the most reliable method.

Option 2: Use a special file manager

Some apps like ZArchiver or X-plore File Manager may allow partial access with the correct permissions.

Install them from the Play Store.

Grant “All Files Access” from your phone settings when it asks.

Try navigating to Android/data again.

Note: Even with these apps, full access is still limited unless you're rooted.

Thanks for sharing the screenshots — this is a common issue on Android 11, 12, 13, and newer, especially with accessing Android/data/com.mojang.minecraftpe for game mods or backups.

Why this is happening:

Google has restricted access to certain system folders like Android/data and Android/obb for privacy and security.
That's why even though you're using a file manager, you're seeing:

"Can't use this folder"

"Access is denied"

Here's how to fix or bypass it:

Option 1: Use ZArchiver (Recommended)

ZArchiver is one of the few file managers that can partially access Android/data.

1. Download ZArchiver from the Play Store.

2. Open it and grant “All Files Access” (you’ll be asked when launching it).

3. Navigate to:

/Android/data/com.mojang.minecraftpe

4. You should now be able to view and paste files in that folder.

Tip: If you still get errors, long-press the folder and tap “Open as archive” — that sometimes bypasses the restriction.

Option 2: Use a PC (Best for Full Access)

1. Connect your phone to a Windows PC via USB.

2. Allow File Transfer mode.

3. Go to Phone > Android > data > com.mojang.minecraftpe.

4. Copy/paste your files easily from there.

Important Notes:

Some phones (like the Galaxy A series) running Android 13+ have stricter policies.
So even with ZArchiver or X-plore, you might still get blocked.

It’s working fine on my phone, but it’s not working on your device, even after trying ZArchiver or X-plore File Manager.
This might be due to stricter restrictions or missing file access permissions on your phone.
Some Android versions completely block access to the Android/data folder.

Fix Tip:

Go to Settings → Apps → ZArchiver or X-plore → Permissions → Enable “All Files Access”

If you don’t see that option, search “Special App Access” in Settings and allow file access manually.

Also, try using the version from the official website instead of the Play Store — that version sometimes works better.
