Using SD card on Android agent

Overview

Note

Applicable to Android 5.0 and newer.

The Resilio Active Everywhere 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 the folder doesn't 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 the %SDCARD% path macro when creating the Job. Make sure to use uppercase letters 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 to: /<path to SD card>/Android/data/com.resilio.connect.agent/files/Sync job
