Accessing Android/media

[Gaijw78282]

Hello I come here to suggest to have put an option to show hidden files of the system because often these files save data that increases over time like those of WhatsApp that is in the android folder > media that is hidden and does not show in the SD app anymore.

Can you elaborate? If the permissions allow, SD Maid already shows files in Android/media.

You can browse there with the Storage Analyzer:

Analyzer > Apps > WhatsApp > App Media

In these videos shows in the app where I can not find the hidden folder and in the other shows my app file administrator my phone and S23 5G android 14 this watsapp folder is in the android directory and in the SD analyzer but does not show this folder.

You are trying to access the folder the wrong way.

You are going:

Analyzer > Storage > User Files > ...

but all files under Android/media belong to specific apps. So you have to go

Analyzer > Storage > Apps > WhatsApp > App Media > ...

Sim obrigado eu achei aqui.

E que estou acostumado com Es file Explorer onde ja mostra no começo o quantitativo na pasta oculta dando meio que uma simplicidade. Mais obrigado pela paciência e desculpe qualquer coisa.

E por que seria bom mostrando na quela parte do analizador arquivos ocultos conseguisse uma forma de mostrar por lá sem precisar is buscar no app seria maravilhoso.

E tivesse uma função que desse pra automatizar a exclusão desses arquivos em horários programados. Tipo vc entrava na pasta clicaa e segurava e colocava pra agendar exclusão.
