        @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?

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

          Impossible through File App.

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

          result is "Permission denied"

              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.

                        I know, I was a kind of ironic πŸ‘½ but friendly πŸ‘Ό
                        thanks anyway.
