SFA is a system manager which uses when we save/open files in the system for other apps.
For instance: i open pcloud to upload some files, press choose and it opens SFA.
The problem that SFA has virtual download folder which shows all downloads: from real download folder + downloads from apps which have no access to device memory.
When the Google assistant had no access to memory it downloaded files to its folder which in the system.
I have no root, so I can't delete these files. Maybe somebody knows how to remove these files using ADB?
Here are the screenshots to explain and show the problem. The screenshots show: the folder in total commander, the folder in SFA (root /downloads), the folder "downloads" which i underlined.
mediafire() com/folder/jvcz2dhmqkwje/SFA
PS Can i add my own folders to SFA favorites list (you can see on the screenshot: downloads, root, bugs, cloud storage)? Apps can add the to this list. Maybe it's possible to edit it?
Update (February 7, 2023)
Get the latest version of MixPlorer for Android 13 which was released a few days ago. Allow it to access data and obb folders. It's the only File Manager app that can access them right now.
Method 1-
• Download and install Files by Google
• Tap and hold on it, go to app info, allow the app to modify system settings
• Open the app, copy your game/app obb or data file to the Android folder inside your device storage. Then move it to obb or data folder on Android.
Method 2-
• Download and install Mixplorer by Hootan Parsha.
• Tap and hold on it, go to app info, allow the app to modify system settings
• Open the app, copy your game/app obb or data file to the Android/data or Android/obb folder inside your device storage. The app will ask you to choose the folder you want to modify. Simply open and select Android folder.
• Now you can copy/move without any hassle
Method 3 (requires root) -
• Download and install Root Explorer.
• Tap and hold on it, go to app info, allow the app to modify system settings
• Open the app, copy your game/app obb or data file to the Android/data or Android/obb folder inside your device storage. It will ask write permission on the app, press okay.
• Then it will ask root permission. Grant it and you're good to go.
Method 4 (requires a custom recovery) -
• Reboot to TWRP, PitchBlack, OrangeFox
• Go to settings - mount and tick system
• Now go to recovery file manager, navigate to your file, tap or it or press and hold to get the options, then copy/paste it to Android/data or Android/obb
• Reboot
I know it's a really basic tutorial for a lot but the more people know the better.
Good day, update!
Method 1, ist kaput.
Does not work. Recognizes Android folder ONLY AND if you copy to it, it rejects your copy or move.
Method 2, failed as well
Don t know how to implement 3 n 4

Only method 4 worked.
This is a basic app for zipping files to send them via email or messaging program.
You can download it from the Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.easyjoin.zipnship
Does not requires any permission to run.
How it works
• Select one or more files using your favorite file manager, a gallery app and any other app you use to view and manage your files.
• Share the selected files and send them to "zipNship - Zip".
• Create a compressed file that contains all the selected files. Minimize the size of the data to be sent and in case of photographs maintain their quality.
• Share the zip file with any application, send it via email, message or save it in the cloud.
• You can share the zip file again or delete it to free up space on your storage.
You can also unzip a file in a similar way. You will have to select the zip file and share it with "zipNship - Unzip". The first time you will need to select a folder and allow the application to unzip the file on it.
De-googlefyiers (is this a word?) can get the apk from this post.
