Steps to reproduce
Open Nextcloud Android app.
Go to Settings → Auto Upload.
Add a new Auto Upload folder.
Choose a local folder.
Try to navigate to a folder located on the SD card.
Expected behaviour
Cannot select SD card folder when creating new Auto Upload rule (Android 16 / One UI 8.5)
Description
Since updating to Nextcloud Android app 34.1.0-beta (Google Play release updated on 23 July 2026), I cannot create new Auto Upload rules targeting folders on the SD card.
Existing Auto Upload configurations pointing to the SD card still work correctly. Manual uploads from the SD card also work. The issue only affects the creation of new Auto Upload folder mappings.
Environment
Nextcloud Android app: 34.1.0-beta
Installation source: Google Play
Android version: Android 16
Device: Samsung Galaxy A55
UI: One UI 8.5
SD card type: Portable storage
Steps to reproduce
Open Nextcloud Android app.
Go to Settings → Auto Upload.
Add a new Auto Upload folder.
Choose a local folder.
Try to navigate to a folder located on the SD card.
Expected behavior
The SD card should be accessible and allow selecting a folder as the local source for a new Auto Upload rule.
Actual behavior
The SD card appears in the folder selector.
It cannot be opened/selected.
The folder list remains limited to internal storage folders.
The app becomes unresponsive/frozen during this action.
No error message is displayed.
Additional information
Existing Auto Upload links using SD card folders continue to work.
Manual upload from SD card works normally.
App cache was cleared.
Permissions were checked and are correctly granted.
The issue is reproducible every time using the steps above.
This looks like an issue specific to the folder picker used when creating a new Auto Upload configuration, rather than a general SD card access problem.
