Unfortunately, in recent versions, Google Play has restrictions on the ‘Write Storage Permission’ and starting from Nov-2021, apps targeting Android-11 and above can only access public storage folders (e.g., Downloads, Documents, Pictures, Music, etc.). Therefore, any folders created outside of these locations cannot be used for downloading. If you want, you need to create sub-folders in the above-mentioned locations.
Moreover, SD card support was also removed due to Google Play Store restriction as stated above. According to Google, no apps should have access to SD cards from Nov-21 on wards (refer android documentation https://rb.gy/mleqvn). Only SD cards mounted as root can be detected.
Means if you download to app private directory in SD card it can’t be accessed by other apps, so you can’t access this folder using any File manager app or Video/Audio Player until they have broader access file storage permission
This affects not only us, but all apps will lose support for SD card from Nov-21 on wards after update. Violating this rule may lead to app ban by Google Play Store.
Hence, developers have no option to support all locations and SD cards anymore due to Google Play’s new rules and restrictions.
Important Note: However, as per our user concerns, we have provided two options to bypass this limitation & access all folders as below
1. Provided ‘System File Manager’ option in for Google Play Builds:
You need to update your app to the Ver.9 (Google Play) or above to avail this feature, Here is how you can avail this feature
Using this system file manager feature you can access almost all folders, So the content in that folder can be accessed by File manager & Video/Audio players.
This feature introduces an option in the Torrent folder selection page to access the system folder/file picker. By enabling this option, users can bypass the previous restriction on the Downloads folder only, allowing them to select any preferred folder for downloading. However, there are certain limitations. Occasionally, you might encounter Error Code-13 instead of the download progressing when left for long time. To resolve this simply reselect the download folder location using the System File Manager option again, which should eliminate the error. Additionally, for devices running Android 8 (Oreo) or earlier access to the root folder may be restricted due to system limitations.
2. Created a separate build of ‘ Torrent Pro‘ for users which supports all folders like previous version.
For that, you need to download our app from our official website instead of Google Play Store.
Direct Download from https://torrentpro.qinfro.com
Then You Are Able To Download To All Folders
And if you are using the app from before 13 February 2022, then you need to uninstall the previous version of the app and install the app (direct download) from the website (this is due to signature change).
Then you will be able to download to all folders.
Note: Even though the app is up-to-date which is downloaded from our website, but Play Store will show an update in the Play Store. Don’t update from Play Store if you want to have access to all storage locations.
And if you are a purchased user, don’t worry even if you download from our website. Your purchase will be automatically verified.
