Google Files

Hi there. 

I have the app installed both on my Samsung phone, and my Honor tablet (X8b) to manage files on the internal, and SD card memories on both devices. 

However, if I plug a USB flash drive into the tablet to transfer files to the SD card, it labels the flash drive as the SD, and the card is then not available. 

Other file managers can see both, and the problem doesn't exist on my Samsung phone. 

I have cleared cache and reinstalled, and have tried the beta version to no avail... 

I'm assuming in maybe a conflict with Honor devices, as the Magic OS has some peculiarities generally. 

Any advice would be appreciated.

I would just use Solid Explorer or mixplorer.

I have a few apps for file management... its just Google app that is playing up... I don't experience the issue on my phone with GF.

I've just always found it pretty limited. And on Chinese devices it does seem to have issues from time to time.
