I can not find any app that can do this:
* Encrypts files before sending them to Dropbox.
* You can select entire directories and new files are uploaded automatically.
* The files can be decrypted with a computer (Windows software).
* Uploads automatically when connected via WIFI.
All apps I've tried got the problem that you have to select individual files, this does not work for me.
Anyone know an app that can do what I want?
(If it can upload to a FTP-server it would also work aslong as the files are encrypted and can get decrypted on my Windows-PC.)
Can you please repost your question into the App discussion thread.
Thanks!

My phone got all screwed up, so I copied as many files off of it as I could using the Windows "Mobile Device" folder (no programs will run on the phone, but I could see the files). I copied pim.vol and cemail.vol among others. I hard reset the phone and copied pim.vol back onto the phone, and now my contacts, calendar, call history, are all restored. I'd like to restore the cemail.vol file also, but when I try to delete the default one I get:
Cannot delete 'cemail':
There has been a sharing violation.
The source or destination file may be in use.

When I try to delete it from the computer, I get the same thing:
Cannot delete file cemail: There has been a sharing violation.
The source or destination file may be in use.

How do I get around this?
Answer: Remove "messaging" from the Today screen so that it is not in use, and restart.
Long path tool
Hi Guys, just to update you, finally I found a way to solve it
Do you have error messages?, like :
* Path too long
* Error cannot delete file: cannot read from source file or disk
* Cannot delete file: Access is denied
* There has been a sharing violation.
* Cannot delete file or folder The file name you specified is not valid or too long. Specify a different file name.
For that I tried it with LONG PATH TOOL
Hello everyone,
I'm an android user, with a Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.1.
I have a QNAP NAS which I can easily access from my android phone via WebDav or Ftp.
Currently, when I select a file (doc, xls), it downloads the file to my phone and then opens it in in it's respective application.
When I edit the file and save it, the changes are only made to the local file which was downloaded to my phone. I then have to upload the file back to the server and overwrite the existing file. Such a pain!
Are there any methods or applications that will open the file directly from the server? Such that edits and saves are done on the server instead of on my phone?
Thanks,
Daxton

try File Expert, I think could help you.
Thanks Ikubik,
Unfortunately File Expert doesn't work.
It connects via FTP and gives me a directory listing.
However, when clicking on a file, it says "Opening Directory..." and then does nothing. It doesn't even appear to download anything either.
This is really chapping my a**. You'd think this would be possible??
I've tried FX file manager - connects via ftp - only opens files as read-only
Solid Explorer - connects via ftp - saves files locally for editing & changes are not made on the server
X-Plore, couldn't establish connection
Kingsoft Office - Has WebDav support which refused to connect
ES File Manger - Same result as Solid Explorer
How to people manage their files on the go?
I want to get away from online cloud services and manage my own data. Apparently, this is more difficult that I thought.
I found an application call FolderSync which keeps your server files synchronized with your android. But, it downloads all of your network files to your phone. I've got 13 gigs of documents = no thanks.
Any other suggestions?

When you copy a file to the device (MTP or other means), the copy doesn't get the origin's timestamp. Is this true for XZP?
yes same for me. i tried to copy some pictures itchanges the date. even when i extract it through zip file
I noticed that applications are allowed to change files' last modification date. I.e. Sony has definitely patched the bug. So if you'd like to transfer stuff to your phone manually while keeping timestamps, you may use a file manager that is capable to access network shares and a shared folder on your computer. I used Total Commander with LAN plugin from GPlay

No, that's not the case. If I reinstall Google Files app, and use the same PIN as before, it shows an empty Safe Folder with an error message: "Some files on your SD card can't be opened on this device. They may belong to another safe folder or they may be corrupted." (Screenshot attached)
Please help me to restore those files from the .FilesByGoogle folder.
Haven't heard or read that the Safe Folder folder created and managed by Google Files app can get corrupted out of nowhere.
Somebody from Google Files team over there?

Google uses the ChaCha20 stream cipher and Poly1305-AES authenticated encryption to encrypt files in Files by Google Safe Folder
been trying to copy files and media between users on the same android device, without using external sdcards, usb-otg or cloud based stuff. just copying locally between user profiles.
I've been trying and it's unbelievable there seems to be no built in way. I hope someone will still know a way.
while there once have been a way to share files over the /android/obb folder, this information is long outdated and doesn't work anymore since Android 10.
Situation:
Android 13 or custom rom based on A13.
Multiple Users activated: 2 users: 1 owner, 1 user
with root access and both the owner and user logged in once, it is possible to navigate to /data/media/0 (owner) or /data/media/11 (first user) and copy files.
but without root?
how to copy files between local profiles? I searched the internet and all information is outdated, no solution to be found.
the only things I found is either with root (see above) or with FTP server (cumbersome).
any other options?
For me, using an ftp server is very simple.
So define exactly what is not cumbersome file sharing for you and why using an ftp server is cumbersome.
a not so cumbersome way of sharing files between userprofiles and without root would be something like:
you select any files in your prefered (filebrowser/gallery-)app, select share, then be able to select the other user-profile to share to and from this point on it saves the files either via a folder picker to that user-space (maybe after asking for auth/pattern of that user), or a filebrowser-app that you can choose from to save the files to this users local space.
