Thank you.

>> Apps can launch this intent to pick and return a directory from any supported DocumentProvider, including any of the shared storage supported by the device

Argh.

It's not just the file system -- it will list things like "Google Drive" and "Dropbox" etc.

>> We heard loud and clear that developers wanted richer access beyond these directories

And over-engineered it by a factor of 10 or so...

Just need to wait for my G3 to get the 5.0.

Not only cloud drives, you can pick any folder in the device too afaik.

Many file managers are document providers so in SAF you can select directory even by your favourite file manager.

Actually, seems to work -- I've only tried the "picking" part, not actually creating documents there yet...

As for file manager integration -- I've got Solid Explorer, and it does show when picking *files*, but does not show when doing this new "pick root directory" thing. I guess that part's not implemented yet (I mean in Solid Explorer).

The good part though, is that Google Drive didn't show. It would be weird to have the "save" folder be in the cloud.
