FileObserver for Chromebook Downloads directory is never notified

62 Views Asked by At

I have an android app running on Chromebooks. I'm using FileObserver to watch a few common directories and notify changes. This is successful in all locations except the downloads directory on my chromebook.

Downloads directory on this specific chromebook is /storage/MyFiles/Downloads. Do chrombook downloads directories have special protections? (are we not allowed to monitor there?)

If this is a security issue or otherwise intentional and you have a source, please share it

This is how the device filesystem looks in AS:
