problems with detecting files from the download with dirlist folder on android 14

Post by aldo.aliende »

Morning! dirlist only detects the folders inside download but not the files, what could be the problem?
on android 13 it works fine! I use cspro 7.7.3

Google is continually locking down access to shared files on Android for security reasons. The motivation is that an application shouldn't be able to see all the files that you downloaded because some of them may be sensitive.

In CSPro 8.0, we added a way to copy files from the Downloads folder to the csentry folder. See here:

This is the functionality that you can use to gain access to a file in the Downloads folder, but you'll have to upgrade to 8.0.
