Please let me know if any other information or logs (e.g. I could not find the kdeconnect-log in KDE), or even try test-build of the app. Hi Michael, I have not been able to reproduce this situation yet. I hope you can give me some more info. - Are you only exposing Music or are you exposing the entire internal storage - Can you give me a detailed listing of both the Music directory and the testfolder (ls -la) - If possible your dolphin settings I'll keep trying to reproduce on my side as well. Hi, my exposed folders are (according to apps settings): "downloads" / "downloads" "Music" / "primary:Music" I'll add the ls -la later. What exactly do you mean by dolphin-settings? Which Menu-Entries of configfile? For some reason, the SFTP-connection did not longer wok at all, so I wanted try a fresh re-installation of kdeconnect. I deleted App-Data, cache and uninstalled the app, and re-installed it afterwards - however, the exposed folders were still configured (in "Modul-Einstellungen" / "Dateisystem anzeigen") as "configured storage locations". Everytime I try to delete them, the app crashes (I'll attach the stacktrace as file - posting it as part of a comment is "blocked as spam"...). Is there any chance to "cleanup" my kdeconnect-installation? Created attachment 119618 [details]
logcat for the crash described in previous comment
The crash when you try to delete a configured storage location has been fixed in master but it has not been released yet. For the time being you will have to de-install and then re-install kdeconnect on android. I'm still investigating how it is possible that after you configure exposing "Internal Storage/Music" android for some reason forgets this. *** Bug 406385 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Erik, is there still information needed from the reporter? (In reply to Christoph Feck from comment #9) > Erik, is there still information needed from the reporter? Yes, i have not been able to reproduce the problem yet When constructing the parentDocumentId of a subdirectory below a shared storage location the leading '/' was stripped from the path leading to a parentDocumentId of content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/tree/primary:Music/document/primary:Musictestfolder instead of content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/tree/primary:Music/document/primary:Music/testfolder Hi,
I´d like to add the info, but I somehow messed up my whole kdeconnect-installation (on the android-phone).
Your advice ("For the time being you will have to de-install and then re-install kdeconnect on android.") did not work for me - after deinstallation and fresh install, kdeconnect still remembers all previously configured storage locations (and my notebook as well).
How can I get completely rid of the configuration? ("delete app data" and "delete cache" prior to de-installation also did not help)...

That should not happen because we use standard android shared preferences to store the configured storage locations. When you uninstall the app those preferences are deleted Thanks for the hint with the shared preferences. Actually, Android per default backs them up, and restores them on reinstallation, as I found here: https://mobikul.com/application-restored-data-shared-preference-even-reinstall/ Now I managed to clean my installation, and can do further retests later.

Logcat from reproduced occurence
I succeeded in reproducing the issue on a fresh installation on android (and on a new KDE profile).
The attached logcat shows:
- initial connection of kdeconnect to test@vademecum
- configuration the new storage location "primary:Testfolder_phone"
- copy the file "single_file.txt" to the phone using dolphin: OK
- copy the folder testfolder to the phone: folder is created, the contained file is NOT
- copy the file file2.txt to the phone: OK
The requested file-listing of the two folders is as follows:
test@vademecum:~$ ls -al testfolder/
insgesamt 12
drwxrwxr-x 2 test test 4096 Apr 24 23:53 .
drwxr-xr-x 19 test test 4096 Apr 25 21:11 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 test test 6 Apr 24 23:53 testfile.txt
test@vademecum:~$ ls -al /run/user/1001/dda7056acec3b75d/Testfolder_phone/
insgesamt 8
-rw-rw-rw- 1 test test 6 Apr 25 21:12 file2.txt
-rw-rw-rw- 1 test test 6 Apr 25 21:10 single_file.txt
drwxrwxrwx 1 test test 0 Apr 25 21:10 testfolder
test@vademecum:~$ ls -al /run/user/1001/dda7056acec3b75d/Testfolder_phone/testfolder/
insgesamt 0
I hope this helps - please let me know if further information is necessary.
I am experiencing the very same issue. I run Gentoo Linux, KDEConnect 1.3.4 with Dolphin 18.12.3 and Plasma Desktop 5.14.5.1. My Android phone is a OnePlus 6 running Android 9. Same happens when I try to copy a folder from my computer to a Lenovo Tablet running Android 6.0.1. The folder gets created but nothing can be copied to the folder. Git commit 4be5800b8be20d3612904373e7e840fb24eb6b27 by Albert Vaca. Committed on 23/07/2019 at 12:58. Pushed by albertvaka into branch 'master'. Disable google backups of the app This was causing problems when a restored app remembered the list of storage locations it had access to, but it no longer could access them. In the past, this also caused problems when a restored app would carry with it a certificate that was no longer valid on the new device because the device id had changed.

SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. In the App, configure a location for File-Browsing (in this case: "Music", located on the internal storage) 2. Access it from Dolphin with KDE - Reading files works 3. Try to copy a folder (here: "testfolder") containing a file ("test.txt") OBSERVED RESULT While the folder was created, any containing file could not be written to the mobile phone. Instead, many exception occured in logcat. Sometimes, copying single files works, but more often it does not - however, copying whole folders never succeeded. EXPECTED RESULT The file "testfolder/test.txt" is copied to the mobile phone.
