Guide | A13 | Storage Permission

@diogenes009 I got this to work on Android 11...
Might want to try "revoking" each like this:

pm revoke com.vivaldi.browser android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
pm revoke com.vivaldi.browser android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

and then try enabling them again:

pm grant com.vivaldi.browser android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
pm grant com.vivaldi.browser android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

The "internal_storage" is either bogus (I think) or not being used here.

pm grant com.vivaldi.browser android.permission.READ_INTERNAL_STORAGE

It threw the same error as you got when I tried it.

To upload a file from the SD card I used google "Files" when prompted for an app. The first view is the limited one (useless) Google wants you to see. Hit the Meatball in top left corner and it should slide a menu out from the left that will have other locations, like SD Card

I'm going to use Firefox (it works) for the site I upload pictures to and try Vivaldi Android after the next update lands.

@lfisk I'll try the revoke and grant when I get a chance.

I get to the picture I want to use without a problem. I just can't select anything. Even if a say please when I tap.

@diogenes009 I used Postimage.org to test this. It was an image on SD card>DCIM>Camera directory. Something unimportant... after the successful upload I copied the "delete image" link they provide and removed it.

I mentioned Google "Files" because I've had troubles with accessing stuff like that while using other apps. I haven't tried other means though while running Vivaldi

You could wait for a 1 more week for some other Pixel user answers that may give some more info.

After that,
You may open a Bug Report, they would have some more info with the Testers who checks about the reports.

@glx said in Guide | A13 | Storage Permission:

but not working on Android 12. SDCard is still not usable as download destination in Vivaldi due to "Not enough space" which is definitely not the case.

I had the same problem on A13. And I just formatted my sdard and it fixed the problem. I used my PC and a card reader for formatting if there's any difference.

How to get the Vivaldi browser in Android 14 storage permission enabled?
I am using a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, running OneUI 6.1 on Android 14.
Everything I try I get something such as:

pm grant com.vivaldi.browser android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
'pm' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

My device has ADB acces, as it says:

List of devices attached
RFCW10FYFVE     device

What to do?

Search at XDADevelopers,
For Android 14 the command maybe it's different.
