Hi, if we put data in the private-scoped folder, the third-party app can't read it, how to sync via the third-party app?

Then put the sync-needed file with the Notebooks in the
/storage/emulated/0/Documents/siyuan/folder, just like pictures of Instagram put in the/storage/emulated/0/Pictures/Instagram/[-]Note books should be created in Documents folder on Android, not the root path of the storage[/-][+]Change siyuan dir on Android[/+]88250 commentedon Feb 14, 2021
Documentsdir is also deprecated from Android 10, so I think we should keep all data to app private dir.[-]Change siyuan dir on Android[/-][+]Change siyuan to private folder on Android[/+]HaujetZhao commentedon Feb 14, 2021
As long as put it in
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.b3log.siyuanbut not/data/data/org.b3log.siyuan, file manager apps can still have access to these files and do sync things.Probably add a location custom setting, for users who use their own other sync tools.

there should be option to select custom folder where to store notebooks similar to obsidian app. Only this thing is keeping me from shifting to siyuan from obsidian
