Android Host - Can't transfer files to SD card

Hi,

I wanted to use TeamViewer to transfer a file from my desktop PC to the external SD-card in my android phone. This doesn't work and gives me the following error:

I'm using theTeamviewer 12 on my PC and Host for Samsung 11.0 on my android phone.

The Phone is a Samsung Galaxy S7 with Android 7.0

We have now Teamviewer 14 (in connection with Sanasung S8+, Android 8.0.0) and this problem obviously is still not solved. When it will be solved?

Hi Chris204,

Thank you for your message.

As of right now TeamViewer RC only supports file transfers with the primary external storage. In this case Android defines the built-in memory as first external storage (external just means "not the system storage"), so the you can only upload/download files from/to this storage.

Our developers are aware of this situation and are already working on a solution.

Right now there is no (easy) workaround to fix this issue, but if you are an expert and your device is rooted there is a chance for you to create your own navigation: creating a symlink (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link) in your first external storage pointing to the sdcard.

Unfortunately, we do not support this workaround and have only provided it as a temporary workaround for your perusal.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions...

Best regards,

Yuri
