I do not see tabs "Personal/Work" like shown on a screenshot here https://island.oasisfeng.com/files.html when using Island version 6.

Do I need to execute the following command, like in Island versions 5.x?

pm grant com.oasisfeng.island android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS

I don't have it either. Android 13, Pixel 6a, Island 6. After issuing this command successfully - no positive results.

It seems that the stock "Files" app somewhy could not work correctly with the Work profile, or more specifically with "Android Storage Access Framework (SAF)". So you have to use a 3rd party file browser, as recommended on the Island manual page.

I have discovered this when was using a different apps - for example the tabs "Personal/Work" would appear if you open Contacts app in the Work profile and choose "Import contacts" from the menu to open a file browser. Or if you open a PDF viewer app and choose "open file" from the menu.

It is very strange that there are no such tabs in stock "Files" app, and I will be grateful if anyone recommends how to enable it as I do not want to use a 3rd party file browsers.

Total Commander from Mainland cannot into Island. Total Commander from Island cannot into Mainland. Is Total Commander «3rd party» enough?

Mainland won't be able to access island via SAF, island can access mainland via SAF, haven't yet found any solution...
