Gallery path

Feature Request

Hi everyone, I'm working on some app in which I need to download image and save it to gallery but unfortunately I'm unable to save image to gallery because I don't know how to make path to gallery so that I can save the image there.

Motivation Behind Feature

I tried File transfer plugin, base64ToGallery plugin and CanvasToGallery plugin but they are deprecated or it didn't work. I searched on internet to find some proper explanation for this but didn't find any.

It's my humble request to please consider this request because there is no proper answer out there for this gallery path problem.

Hi, you have a solution by this ?

For iOS I don't think this is possible due to the iOS filesystem sandbox.

For android, the standard directory is the DCIM folder, which can be reachable regardless if the sdcard is emulated or not via cordova.file.externalRootDirectory + "DCIM/"

However if that folder is actually used by your installed gallery is another question. I'm also not sure if this directory is writable with scoped storage rules.

Further support questions like this belongs more on our Discussions board.
