+    .. note::
+        If the Android device's **Files** app has been manually deactivated, please re-activate it, if possible, because it is used by ScummVM as the native File explorer.
+
+        Furthermore, an Android user with a **restricted profile** might not be able to run the device's **Files** app with full access rights, so it will be impossible to browse the list of folders and files on external storage (SD Card) of their device to choose a folder to grant ScummVM the SAF access permission.

+.. _addSAFpathAndroidStudioDeviceExplorerKnownIssue:
+
+    .. note::
+        On a few devices it was observed that when Android Studio's "Device Explorer" utility is used to browse the device's folders and upload files from a PC to the Android device then, upon re-launching ScummVM on that device, it may behave as all granted SAF access permissions are lost and cannot be granted again. In this case, a device restart should fix this odd "hiccup"; after the restart, ScummVM will properly acknowledge any previously configured SAF-accessible folders.
