Unfortunately, just because your file explorer shows these network drives doesn't mean that you'll have that support for the rest of Android, outside of the app. Android doesn't have good global file share support. Some devices add it globally (such as the Nvidia Shield), but most devices don't. So we would have to build our own file share support from scratch for those devices, which honestly, is not likely to happen. Sorry I don't have better news.

Right, within 20 minutes of binging / googling, you guys can easily implement it with:

1. The flutter file picker: https://github.com/miguelpruivo/flutter_file_picker

2. The samba browser from flutter's file picker: https://github.com/Schloool/samba-browser-flutter

3. Info here: https://pub.dev/packages/file_picker

 

Tell me again why we're necroing an old thread to bring up projects that aren't even using the SDK our app is built with?

Because:

1. The SDK your app is built with is unknown and closed source.

2. This issue is a massive and a persistent one, that has never been fixed.

3. This problem causes the entirety of this app to be useless due to this, go with the times already : )

Been public knowledge since it was built it was released that it's done so using Xamarin.Forms and is mentioned heavily in the forum and our videos.

So massive that the thread has went over a year without a single person commenting.

Yep, never a reason to use it move on...

I get your frustrations. Always sucks to not be able to use something the way you feel you should be able to. That being said this really isn't a solution to the problem. Thankfully there are a lot of options in the Android eco-system for front ends. If our app doesn't fit your needs you definitely have other options you can try. All of which would be more productive than attempting to scream at the development team here to "git gud"...
