believe we are talking about different methods based on that post on xda... they are talking about apps not seeing data which would indicate each app needs permissions set like in the NVidia Permission post
as a developer i always use developer methods, i.e. adb
is adb also unable to access Android/Data?
if a certain app is allowed permissions like in that shield post is it then able to see Android/Data?
Using Mixplorer (latest version as of today), with root, on the aforementioned OnePlus 6T, I still am unable to list content of Android/Data folder. I can see and interact (read and write) using Root/sdcard. This on Android 13. Rather curiously, Mixplorer does not have the "File" permission among the ones one can give to it. I don't know if that would make a difference.
Kodi can actually access its own folder (what is called special:// in Kodi lingo) and so, using the internal File Manager, could be used to move rclone.conf in the plugin's hardcoded location. I did not think about it but still...
The modification I used completely solves the problem, as a user can put rclone.conf wherever it suits his Android version. Until the day when Android completely stops our ability to interact with our devices in any meaningful way, that is (the trend is worrying, in that regard).
Edit: also, I'm 100% not a developer. I simply devised a solution for the problem at hand. This was not for Shield, a friend of mine had a different Android device that wanted to use with Kodi/rclone and so I tried to find a way to allow that.
