Using SD card on Android agent

ytgggggggggggggg# Using SD card on Android agent

Overview

This only works for Android v5.0 and newer.

The Resilio Connect agent on Android has access only to its sandbox on the SD card. It’s located in <SD card>/Android/data/com.resilio.connect.agent/files. If it does not exist, manually create it on the android device using any file manager. Otherwise, the Agent will fail when trying to start the job.

Write to the SD Card

To put a sync folder on the SD card, use %SDCARD% path macro when creating the job. Type it in capitals (!) otherwise, the error “Don’t have permissions to write to selected folder” will pop up, the job won’t appear on mobile agent and won’t work until the path is fixed.

If the Android agent is in a group with other desktop agents, use Custom path and set the path macro, for each platform.

For Android agents, Job’s path will resolve into:
/<path to SD card>/Android/data/com.resilio.connect.agent/files/Sync job
