P Patrick Clark Active Member Licensed User Feb 13, 2020 #1 I am using GetSafeDirDefaultExternal to set folder location for files but it always returns /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/b4a.example/files How do I make it return an application specific folder? eg. if my application is called MYAPP I would like to store my files in /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/MYAPP/files

It is the folder for the app with the packagename b4a.example Give your app another packagename and the folder will change. You should not use b4a.example at all... You should always use a unique packagename for each app you install. Upvote 0

At first I didn't understand what "STRG-B" meant, because on my PC it's "CTRL-B". Is the difference due to some difference in our keyboards/region, or was it just a typo? Upvote 0
