How to make ES filee manager work?

[prodigy]

Hello everyone. I used to use ES file manager to manage my files on my xperia SP. Now I had xperia Z2, but I can't use ES file manager the way I used to. I mean : if I want to move for example a picture from my internal phone memory to the External SD card , amessage pops up telling methat the task failed.

Then I press on Task Details and a Hint pops up saying: Your system forbidsES from writing on external SD card(check https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=67570), so ES can only write on it after rooted. I tried to enter this url but couldn't, an error occured saying :

Your client does not have permission to get URL /p/android/issues/detail from this server. That’s all we know.

I want to know if there is a way to make ES work without rooting. Thanks.

You need to use File commander,the app that can write on external on KK.

Don't forget to contact the app developer regarding this.

After lollipop update the SD Card priviledges should be back for 3-party apps, in kitkat the SD is locked, you can access by Win7/8 or Mac to copy and edit, but thru Z2's apps without FileKomander it will be always rejected.

Thank U all for your respond. Now my phone's operating system is KitKat, I want to know if I can use Es file manager to move files from internal phone memory to the external if I upgrade to lollipop. Thank U again.

I think you might be able but I am not sure as I use on a Z3 tablet compact File commander (I find it useful). I will check this afternoon.

So tested on a Z3 tablet compact,it seems to work both ways (tried with some docs and pictures).
