A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

You mean directories starting with a .?
Depends on the file manager, nothing to do with Android. Which file manager do you use?
I mean private directories like app data.
I tried the stock retroid one. Fossify and thunar on my PC, none worked
I believe you need root to access those, plus a file manager that supports it (I use Mixplorer which does). Otherwise, as someone else suggested, you can access them from a computer over ADB or MTP.
Oh, stuff in Android folder?
That's been restricted since I think Android 11.
You can still access it using a computer with MTP.
Though there may be some better solution I don't know of.
You could also access it via ADB, and Shizuku lets you access ADB permissions on the device itself. No root required either, but the app needs to be built to use it. I found this file manager to work pretty well.
