How to use Files shuttle? about island HOT 8 CLOSED

The only solution that works till now is to use an app from play store called "Files Shortcut" by Delta 8 Studios. I dont know how he pulls it off but it works like a charm.

For any app supporting Android Storage Access Framework, in the file picker dialog, select the cross-border locations (with * mark) in the navigation drawer. There you can pick files in the other side.

Thank you for your response. I noticed that files timestamps are not preserved though (modification dates etc). Dates preservation in Android has always been quite problematic - is it limitation of SAF itself? Or apps I was using?

Sorry, I'm not sure about this.

Was trying to figure out how using the recommended file manager, I'm still unable to connect to the work profile (island) storage. is there anything I'm doing wrong perhaps?

As per https://island.oasisfeng.com/files

Currently it enables apps (supporting Android SAF) in Island to access files in mainland. The reverse direction file access will be implemented in future version.

You do not neccessarilly need FX File Explorer to manually copy files from Mainland to Island as long as the cloned app (in Island area) can work directly with SAF (Whatsapp seems so).

It is just a shortcut to the native android file manager. That's why it seems to work... And I say seems because in Miui is unusable. I can only think of FTP ways like Xender
