In the upcoming Android 16 QPR2 update, the Linux Terminal app is set to gain significant improvements in file access, allowing it to nearly access all shared storage on your device. Currently, the terminal can only access the Downloads folder, causing limitations in file sharing between Android apps and the Linux virtual machine.
The Linux Terminal app enables various powerful functionalities, such as running Linux programs, operating as a web server, media conversion, and executing AI models locally. However, the restricted access to just the Downloads folder means users face a cumbersome process when transferring files. For example, files saved outside of the Downloads folder necessitate manual transfers or redownloads, creating inefficiencies in workflows.
The new update will expand access, permitting the Linux Terminal to interface with almost all directories that Android apps can access, subject to appropriate permissions. This change will enhance usability and streamline file sharing, making operations more straightforward for users utilizing the Terminal app.
The update is currently available in the Android 16 QPR2 Beta 2. Its features are expected to be included in the stable release scheduled for early December, although it’s noted that there is always a possibility for changes in development.
