unable to access Storage/Android/Data folder

[Pankaj8684]

I recently updated Android 11 in my Samsung s10 plus. Storage/Android/Data folder is no longer access-able in my device. Do anyone else having the same problem. Also share if anyone has the solution?

Sir In Android 11 Google has removed the access to Data and OBB folders.
still if you want to access these folders you download third party app from play store to access the folders.

if my comment was helpful then click on 3 dots near my comment and click accept solution

it's not a good job as that was an important folder and we must need access.

This is google who restricted access because of privacy concerns. And it's a better move.

If you still need to access that Data folder download Solid File Explorer from play store.


If that helped or solved your query "Accept as solution" will be appreciated.
