Backups are inaccessible because they are located in private android directory

Open antonsoroko opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

In settings app says that user can find configuration (and backups, i suppose) in /data/user/0/com.biglybt.android.client/files/.biglybt directory. But in Android you will not get access to /data/user/0/com.biglybt.android.client/ directory unless you have root.

It would make sense to save at least backups to "widely accessible" directory. thank you.

/storage/emulated/0/data/com.biglybt.android.client would be a good location for backups. some other apps also use similar path. /storage/emulated/0/ (aka "internal storage") is like "home directory" in linux, but for android.
