Hi there,

Google restricted access to the android/data folders beginning with Android 11 (if I remeber correctly). Now with Android 14 you cannot write to the folder used to store user PDFs, which is located in the SkyDemon app's folder below android/data. There seems to be no easy way to write documents there w/o rooting the device or using advanced remote debugging features.

Therefore I suggest to implement an import functionality to import user documents into SkyDemon on a specific device. This way SkyDemon can handle the file storage transparently and may overcome certain restrictions.

Thx,
Stefan

I mailed the issue to support. Hannah replied that there is no "open with SkyDemon" feature, you have to copy the file to android/data/... The folder is write protected for newer Android versions as part of Google's security "improvements", 
So, "open with SkyDemon" or some other means of importing a pdf (or any file) into SkyDemon would be helpful in my opinion.
