File transfer from phone to watch:

You can transfer files from your smartphone to your watch. To do this, install the app on both devices and make sure the connection with the watch is established.

⚠️ File Access Permission ⚠️

To use the app on your watch as a file manager, you need to grant file access permission: MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. Due to Wear OS platform limitations, the app cannot request this permission on its own. However, you can use the app without it in a limited mode. You probably don't need full file access if you just want to transfer a file from your phone and open it on your watch.

What works without MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission:

• "Photos": view the list of images stored on the device
• "Videos": videos stored on the device
• "Music": list of audio files on the device
• "Received": files received from the phone
• Opening the above files (if software to open these file types is available)

How to grant permission manually:

If you decide that you need full access to files, you can grant permission using ADB:

1. Connect the watch to the computer via ADB
2. Run the command:
   adb shell appops set --uid com.dertefter.wearfiles MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE allow
3. Restart the app
