I am developing one application which will download a file and put it outside the app’s sandbox directory, so that other apps can access it. Is it possible? If it is not possible than how does browser downloads files and other apps access the files downloaded by browsers?

  • Not possible to access out side app sandbox. I think with browser if you download any zip then it shows options to copy it in any of app like xender (sharing) – Prashant Tukadiya Apr 12 '18 at 12:40
  • What kind of files you want to save? You can save images to gallery and they can be accessible by all application. – Rocky Apr 12 '18 at 12:58

No. Apps must stay inside their sandbox. Though apps you create can share data between them. Documentation
