I don't know if it is already a listed issue I tried looking both at the github and here couldn't find it listed. But when I try to mount a volume that I moved on a USB drive it saids DroidFS doesn't have write access to this path please try another path I gave it access to the USB path in android storage scopes but I guess that doesn't work. Is there some extra android or droidfs setting I need to turn on that I haven't found yet to access/put volumes onto USB or external hard drives. Or is it not supported yet? If not supported yet it would be a good thing to support.

Ensure you are running the latest version (2.1.3) and that DroidFS has been granted the "Manage all files" permission. Also check that the path DroidFS resolves for your volume is correct. If everything looks good, record the app logcat while reproducing the bug.

On 2.1.3 Yes.

The Storage scopes is the right path.

You are telling me to use "Manage all files" instead of storage scopes but DroidFS doesn't ask me for that permission. I can only allow it to access all Photos and Videos in the app permissions.

I don't know how to record app logcat.

Which Android version are you running? "Manage all files" is a special permission available on Android 11+. It should automatically be requested by DroidFS when adding a new volume.

To record logcat, you can use Logfox if you have root access, or adb if you have a computer.

Fixed it, it wasn't in the app permission area in android its in its own special permissions area hidden away. I just searched all files on the settings app then there's the area you can enable that special permission to the app on android 14. It worked after that
