Transferring Files

System operation in Android 11

There are differences in system behavior when you use a display with the Android 11 operating system:

• There is no longer an icon for the applications menu. To access the applications menu, touch and drag upwards from anywhere on the home screen.

• When you touch-and-hold on a file to copy it to a new location, drag the file over the new location and wait for a green + icon.

• Holding the file over a new drive will open the drive and show the sub-directories.

• If the directory that the system opens is higher than the root directory, tap the overflow icon in the upper left corner to access lower directory levels.

• When you navigate to a different location, select the folder and tap the Use This Folder button.

• If you change the display's orientation and tap the Android Overview/Recents button (the onscreen navigation button on the right), the apps will appear upside down. To avoid this, set the display in the correct orientation before using the system.

  If apps are upside down, close and re-open them with the display in the intended orientation.

• The first time that you transfer files from the machine to the display, the display will ask for All files access permission. Grant permission.

• Every time you transfer files from the machine to the display, when you select the target folder, the display will ask permission to access the folder. Grant permission.

• If you use FileFlipper to save converted files to a USB drive, the files are not written to the drive until after FileFlipper reports the process is complete. Either:

  • Wait 5 seconds after FileFlipper reports that the process is complete before you remove the USB drive.

  • Eject the USB stick safely: Swipe down to open the quick setting menu, tap the USB stick notification, and then tap the Eject button.
