TUTORIAL How to access /Android/obb directory on Android 11

[Schmare]

On Android 11, Google has enforced stroage restriction a lot due to privacy, means apps will no longer have access to each other, etc. even file manager apps can't access to /Android/data and /Android/obb directory. This is called Scoped storage

​

This is what happen if you try to access it. It will appear empty
You would need a computer to access them normally

But there is still a way to access /Android/obb directory without a PC (except /Android/data). You will need to allow "install unknwon apps" permission in order to access it

This tutorial use X-plore File Manager . You can download it from the Google Play Store, or tap the link here to download it.

On your launcher, hold an app icon and open App info
Or open Settings -> Apps & notifications -> See all (xxx) apps. Select your app to view App info

​

Expand Advanced and select Install unknown apps

Enable "Allow from this source"

​

Now you can access /Android/obb directory and you can copy OBB, do OBB trick… whatever you want.
I repeat, you still can't access /Android/data
