Waydroid folders > Where in UT ?

Many thanks @ruditimmer

I was asking myself, except going to this files through the terminal and commands lines can you confirm me the fale from "......./data/" are not accessible through "files app", aren't they ?

A Former User

@cr9c You need to do first and sudo -s and then sudo mount -o remount,rw / it would be accessable normoly. but not into the file app need to do it into terminal best way would be via ssh...

arubislander

@ruditimmer eh? Everything under ~/ is accessible without sudo and without having to remount the root filesysteem read / write.

For me it's OK till

~/.local/share/waydroid/data

If I want to go to

~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0

I've got to be SU

@cr9c
And if you use file manager app for seeing, copying files/folders from there to your UT home folders ?

arubislander

@cr9c Ah... Maybe because Waydroid gets the permissions wrong. Or because they are symlinks?
I don't have a Waydroid capable device myself. What does:
$ ls -al ~/.local/share/waydroid/data
give as output?

Impossible through File App.

@arubislander said :

$ ls -al ~/.local/share/waydroid/data

result is "Permission denied"

Please try

$ sudo ls -al ~/.local/share/waydroid/data

I believe it is a symlink to /var/lib/waydroid/data, or the other way around... ?

Yes it's ok (obviously ... no ?!)
But my concern through this post was regarding accessibility to Waydroid rep. via AppFile of UT.
I know now it's not possible

Anyway thank you.

But it is: Everything under the user's home folder is accessible from the File Manager app. Just tap the settings icon in the upper right corner and toggle on the option Show Hidden Files.

I guess my post wasn't clear enough :anxious_face_with_sweat:

Again I can't go through waydroid folder in File manager app !
It's forbidden after ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/

So my question is ... is there any clue to access to Waydroid folders in File manager App ?

Ah, no.. your post was clear. My reading comprehension skills are lacking.
There is no way to run GUI apps as root in Ubuntu Touch, and since the folder you are targeting is owned by root (erroneously, if you ask me) then there is no way to browse them in that app.
But this probably should be raised as an issue against the Waydroid repo.

Ah, no.. your post was clear.

I know, I was a kind of ironic but friendly
thanks anyway.
