Title: Backup/Restore under Marshmallow
Post by: miksmith on June 20, 2016, 05:40:22 pm

Just tried to Restore my accounts on to a new install of Marshmallow but latest (1625) AM reports storage not writeable (either internal or external). Is this a bug?

thanks

mike

Some more details after a little more exploration:

-sSame phone (Moto e first gen) with CyanogenMod 13

-after a little reading it appears that the api change for sdcard storage requires the app to request card access (see, for example, ESFileExplorer for implementation)

-error message as per attached

-a partial solution - I assume the AM manifest requests emulated/0/backup/AquaMail. If you select this directory (it will need creating) then permissions work and you can restore/backup

cheers

Re: You can put AquaMail backup file in the directory of your choice (eg dowloads), then restore from that directory
