Hi
I just got this chromebook & am trying to copy files & make folders on an SD card.
It says it's making the folders, but nothing happens.'

Sorry, ChromeOS doesn't currently support write access to the SD card for Android apps. The Files app is a preinstalled app signed by Google, and therefore has higher privileges.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

Is this still an issue? I'm thinking about buying a Chromebook, which would be my first Chromium experience. However, having full file system control via Total Commander is key to me, so this could be a deal breaker, I'm afraid.

I don't have a Chromebook, and the emulator in Android Studio still has this issue - but it's very old (Android 7.11).

Can someone with a real Chromebook test this, please?
