Invalid directory for Full backup (v7.5.0)

[manuellamas]

Hi!
I've just updated the app to the latest release v7.5.0 and was attempting to pick the directory for the exported backup to be created in.
But I'm being faced with an error when exporting to the following directory /storage/emulated/0/M/. (Please see image below)

If anyone has anything to share on the subject I would appreciate it :)
Phone: Pixel 7a
Android version: 15

I didn't create an issue instead because I'm unsure if I'm missing anything regarding the "obvious" directories in which one can't export to.

Hi! Thanks a lot for using the app ☺️

That's weird, by the error message it looks like you are trying to select a file instead of a directory.

Also, you probably you don't have permissions to download files in a system folder. In my case, in a Pixel 7, creating a new directory and picking it works perfectly. The system itself said that you should create a directory to pick one:

Best regards and thanks for asking here first just in case.

Thank you for creating the app!
I also have that warning but creating a directory and choosing it does not work for me it seems.
I can't figure out why.

Here's a video of my attempt, hopefully it makes things clearer.

I haven't saved a video of the screen on mobile before so I don't know of how it could show "presses", but at that last step I pressed Allow.

I tried checking the permissions of the app, but I can't explicitly give it permissions to access files.

Yep, seems that the app doesn't need any android permissions to work (which is great by the way 😃).

After see the video I have no idea of what is happening there. Maybe is a database issue?? Can you confirm that the export was working for you on v7.4?? No other users seems to have problems by the moment with this functionality. Let's check if more users have the same problem.

[manuellamas]

Yup it was working on v7.4.

In that case it may be something on my end then. I'll try to test a bit more with similar functionalities outside Monekin.
Thanks for your help!
