Hi,
So a few days ago i wanted to put files in the obb folder to install some apks. However, when i connected it to my computer, I didn't see any obb folder, so I tried creating one. But every time I tried to create the folder the device kept disconnecting. I have tried creating the folder with USB debugging off and on, with a rooted phone as well as a non-rooted phone, from my computer and from file managers on the phone, but nothing works. What is strange is that when i create the obb folder from a file manager on my, it does create it and i can go into it and i can see the obb of many apps there, but as soon as i come out the folder, the folder vanishes. Someone help please?
obb Folder
Hi there, I had the same problem, but I think the new moto X used the folder Data instead of obb, thats the solution I found for me.

Hi, you cannot access the files. =(
hello,
it's not clear if you want access file within android or just connecting your SD card to a computer.
Can you install apk file (i.e. downloaded from market place?)
i want to access files within android because i want to install apk files from memory card.
i tried to install apk files from market palce but after selecting any application, it shows downloading but doesnt finish download even after several minutes.
I have had similar problem, my 2GB sdcard was not full but I could non use at all, I formatted full FAT32 and put back the file. This solved the problem.
any luck
Are you saying that when you use something like OI file manager, you can not see any files on the memory card ?
i want to rom version of android2.2 too.

i dont have a solution for your problem, but if you have .apk files put it in the "Androidapps" Folder on your sdcard via PC and then run Android. It install automaticly if you start Android.
Hi,
I got my new HTC one and there was no obb folder in Android folder. I created one with name of "Obb" but it actually didnt work. now i created second folder with name "obb". now there are two folders and both have same App Data (obb files). I am unable to delete one.
How to delete it?
Thanks!
I followed a guide I read online that said to back up the game save folder from the /data/data directory.
I just installed a new ROM (Cyanogenmod) after running a stock ROM.
Now trying to copy that folder back to the directory isn't working. First of all, there is no second folder named 'data' within the data folder. I cannot create one either using a file explorer.. it says to use another name.
I've re-installed the game I'm trying to restore, and have found the directory where the game save is now being created. It's located in /storage/emulated/0/Android/data. However, I've tried deleting the folder that's created in there when I first run the game, and have also tried clearing app data, but no matter what, the game keeps loading a new game instead of the back up I made.
If I run the game, it'll start me at the beginning and say, I leave it at level 2 before deleting the folder and clearing the data and copying my back up folder over... it'll still load up level 2.
I can't figure this out!
Ive used my droid turbo for 18 month or so. I always enjoy the convenience of installing an app first and drag data into the obb folder under emulated/0/Android.
But yesterday, I can't find it anymore(all those app data is not lost). I wanted to create a new obb folder but the phone tell me that the folder already exists. When I connect the phone to my computers(both mac and windows), I still can't find the obb folder and as I drag in a blank obb folder that I've just created, my phone crashed and restart. I used shell to check permission and it turns out the folder is there and I have full permission to Read and Write. And I backed up my device and give it a wipe. But no luck.
So, I know that the obb folder is still there, but hidden. I think it may be the Es explorer since the problem happens after I used es explorer to clean app residue after deleting an app which could trigger the write protection?
So Im bit frustrated after working on the issue or this long. So Im asking you guys, have you ever run into issues like this? Is there a viable solution?
I restore data to alot of my apps and games by transferring them between my devices "/android/data" and "/android/obb" folders.
With the pixel 5, it seems I can only read what's in these folders, not write. I've tried stock tile explorer as well as root file explorers and neither can write to these folders.
I even tried to move them from my PC over to the pixel 5, and as soon as a write is attempted to the folders the device "quits responding" until you quit the operation.
Any other way to drop files and or modify files in these folders? I have root.
I have modified some files by first copying them to storage, modify then copy back, using root explorer. You may have to change the attributes
AFAIK the only way to transfer data to android/data is through a computer. I just moved save file data for Soccer Manager 2021 there. Not rooted. Edit, just read your whole post (yeah I'm stupid lol) no idea why you couldn't do it, maybe try playing around with folder permissions?
You can't access files there from an explorer app on your own phone, but you can through windows. Weird.
