Not be able to install apps on android tv through ES file explorer

by hinonashi

My android tv is sony bravia 43x8000E. Few weeks ago, i'm be able to install apps through es file explorer by upload the apk file to the cloud drive that connects with es file explorer.

But right now, i can't install apps through that anymore. ES file explorer said that "failed to copy" everytime i try to install an apk file.

Need help. I'm already tried to look at the documents in settings => app. But i didn't show on android tv.

If you know any other ways to install an apk file through the cloud drive, please teach me.

Thank you.

Lots of people mention es file explorer, and even more people recommend never using it.

Its typically full of bloatware and has bugs, i wouldnt even recommend it on mobiles.

Try Solid file explorer, recently released on AndroidTV, it offers more than ES with zero bloat

are you using google drive?

change your cloud drive to onedrive and it will work

that sounds to me like a memory space issue. I can install any app with ES file explorer. Have you tried using ES file in your cellphone to send the apk to your tv? this way you can discard cloud's server issue. If problem persist then try deleting some data/apps in your tv.
