How to Access Data and OBB folder in Android 13

Links:

Description
With Android 13, you would no longer be able to access the data and obb folders on your device, at least not the 'native' way.
However, using a handy workaround, you could easily access both the data and obb folders on your Android 13. And this video will show you how to do just that.
We would be using the hidden AOSP File Manager app that is already installed on your device to get this job done.

Probably one of the biggest mistakes android devs have made of us not being able to have access to our own phone data

You can't disable the default file explorer anymore

I don't get what they are trying to accomplish by not letting you access the Data folder! Some apps require you to add files into the data folder to WORK. Like emulators. Also my password wallet to update the saved password file requires you to be able to access its Data folder to copy and paste and backup your current passwords. I need to access its Data folder to get this file and copy paste it. These assholes don't understand how important you need to access the data folder since thry cannot let you root now.

Thank you so much. It took few years but we have reached point where manufacturers and developers have removed expandable storage, headphone jacks and now access to file systems of devices we have bought and paid for. Future is grim.

google you can't stop me from installing gta san andreas

[fastnoob]

They did it to stop app pirating... none of these works... but if u have a PC u can access the obb and data file.... and install any game just like we do it on phone... I am sorry for those guys who may not have access to a PC but this is the only working solution

How to give access to third party app? Like GFX

Google Files in the version reinstalled on ArrowOS 13 is to blame. Most old versions of this program allow you to grant these permissions (there were only a few releases that had a bug that prevented it). Unfortunately on ArrowOS13 they install as a different package and don't work.
