User-Specified Directories
Friday, February 21, 2025
While planning the upcoming Android ports of Layers projects, it was discovered that predefined shared directories might not be an option due to strict sandboxing rules applied to Android apps. Unlike the AppData directory available on Windows or the Home directory available on Mac/Unix, there is not a shared directory available on Android.
However, apparently the user is able to select and give apps permission to use directories that they choose. The permission to use these directories persists between sessions. Also, this perfectly fits Layers philosophy of letting users decide.
