Issue with storage access on Quest 2

Unity Engine

I have trouble accessing (writing to) the internal storage /sdcard/Pictures/ (or /mnt/sdcard/Pictures/)

This has never been an issue with Quest 1, but just emerged with Q2.
After installing the APK and running it, Quest 2 asks me to allow permission to access storage, which I confirm.

I’m in Unity (settings below), and the logcat error I’m getting is:
ADB Logcat:
Error Unity UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path “/mnt/sdcard/Pictures/xxx.JPG” is denied.
Error Unity at System.IO.FileStream…ctor (System.String path, System.IO.FileMode mode, System.IO.FileAccess access, System.IO.FileShare share, System.Int32 bufferSize, System.Boolean anonymous, System.IO.FileOptions options) [0x00000] in <00000000000000000000000000000000>:0

Any idea what the cause and fix might be?

thx, volker

did you ever find a fix to this? I am having the same issue event with external permissions

Quest doesn’t have an SD card.You’ll never be able to access that path.

I am facing the same issue.
@digipaul I hope we can access the file using either
/storage/emulated/0/Pictures
or
/sdcard/Pictures
If anyone got a fix, please let me know.

I faced permission issue in unity version 2023.1.16f1 so I degraded to 2021.3.25f1
Even though I grant the permission I am getting “access denied”.
