No sync between Android filesystem and termux

as the images show, there exists a

file.pdf

file.pdf

in termux that isn't showing up in google files. I am open to other methods of editing/downloading a file in termux and accessing it via gfiles, but do not want to use thirdparty file manager applications to view this file. any help?

Solution

$ termux-media-scan -r ~/storage/shared

$ termux-media-scan -r ~/storage/shared

updates your indexing or whatever of the files on your phone. Without this they will appear there with noticeable delay. All applications which don't scan memory directly will have this.

oh
i missed that part

gilgameshOP•10/8/24, 5:41 PM

i would like to think google files would be compatible with its own os, no?

Catinette•10/8/24, 5:44 PM

nope

Catinette•10/8/24, 5:44 PM

it will give you access to termux... by launching it

Catinette•10/8/24, 5:44 PM

gilgameshOP•10/8/24, 5:45 PM

is an external file manager really the only way?

Catinette•10/8/24, 5:45 PM

first i choose the entry to set a new folder, i choose termux, and then it's added

gilgameshOP•10/8/24, 5:45 PM

any way to open via xdg-... or termux-api?

@gilgamesh

Catinette•10/8/24, 5:46 PM

everything is there

Catinette•10/8/24, 5:47 PM

what's wrong with another file manager tho?

Catinette•10/8/24, 5:47 PM

google one is faaaaar from being the best, so, why are you using that one and not another?

gilgameshOP•10/8/24, 5:48 PM

i have a distaste toward other Android file managers due to lack of support and my last experience with 'Awesome files' (full of ads)

gilgameshOP•10/8/24, 5:48 PM

was FOSS too

Catinette•10/8/24, 5:49 PM

you can try total commander, it has no ads at all, no premium feature no nothing (it even has some plugins for ftp, google drive and other thing)

Catinette•10/8/24, 5:52 PM

you'll have to check if it works, last update is from 2023

Catinette•10/8/24, 5:52 PM

but

Catinette•10/8/24, 5:53 PM

do not get total commander from playstore, use the official website

Catinette•10/8/24, 5:53 PM

too many restrictions cause of google policy

gilgameshOP•10/8/24, 5:55 PM

aight I'll check it out after i try termux-api

gilgameshOP•10/8/24, 5:55 PM

Catinette•10/8/24, 5:57 PM

just in case, that's where you can find the unrestricted version https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=76644

Catinette•10/8/24, 5:57 PM

here for plugins https://www.totalcommander.ch/android/plugins.htm

Catinette•10/8/24, 5:58 PM

main difference is the ability to use total commander to install apk directly

google's file manager isnt reliable at all, its more of a file cleaner
switch to totalcmd or material files
