Media files permissions?

[nahaluk]

Hi,

My problem is with pasting audiobook files from my win PC to my ultra22. I plug the phone, pick transfer files, open the destination (Audiobooks) folder on the phone, try to paste the book and windows says ping!, and only pastes an empty folder. Tried different computer, same thing, BUT when I pasted in the downloads folder - success!, and theeeeen I just moved the book into the Audiobooks folder with no issue.....

So, why it wouldn't allow me to paste straight into that folder? What has changed from the previous UI version? Because before the last update, I was able to that....

Are there any type of audio files that I can't just copy/paste on my phone?

That does sound weird, but it could be something to do with Android 12 and scoped storage. The android system won't let you access the whole storage, but I thought that was between apps and not from a PC. So not sure this is the answer.

What's the exact pathname of the Audiobooks folder? Is it just off the main root directory, or is it a subdirectory of some other?

Main directory?

That's pretty strange -- it might be some kind of Windows glitch. As a test, can you copy those files to any of those other directories, like Documents?
