My Shield will not write to my external sd card after 3.0 update

by NegativeFZ

It seems after updating to marshmellow . Es file explorer refuses to write to the sd card. This never happened to me when i was on lollipop.

Great now it does not even see the SD card what is the problem here. I really don't want to factory reset 😅

Marshmallow permissions are a little odd, AFAIK most apps have to request access to the SD card on marshmallow. Apps that haven't been updated to request permission may fail to even see the card (looking at you Mizuu). Formatting the SD card so it is used as internal storage may be the only solution for a while.
