Hello Orux,
I used OruxMaps for many years and am very satisfied. Also recommended it to some fellow hikers;)
On my previous phone with Android 10 I configured OruxMaps to save tracklogs automatically as GPX files and used NextCloud to upload them automatically to my private cloud. This worked very well.
Now I have got a brand new Pixel phone with Android 13 and I cannot get the same to work any more.
OruxMaps stores all its data in /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.orux.oruxmapsDonate/files and there does not seem to be an option to change this. I used the SD card before, but Pixel does not support one. Because of the new access restrictions NextCloud can no longer access that place.
I know that NextCloud should be able to access the files using the "manage all files" permission, but they do not seem to want this. On the other hand giving NextCloud write access to the database or other internal data does not sound as a good idea anyway.
But I do not understand well why the exported GPX tracklogs are also in this very restricted folder. I think their only purpose is to provide them for other applications. So wouldn't it be a better idea to have them in a folder in the media hierarchy where other apps such as NectCloud could access them easily?
Kind regards
Stephan
