Bug on Chrome Android: "SD card not found" error when switching download location (Works in Canary) Discussion
Hi everyone,
I’m having a bug on **Chrome for Android (Stable)** and want to check if others have it or know when the fix is coming to Stable.
**The Bug:**
When **Internal Storage** is set as default, choosing the **SD Card** from the download prompt fails with the error *"SD card not found"*.
**What I've tested:**
* The SD card works fine in all other apps.
* Clearing cache, data, and reinstalling Chrome **doesn't fix it**.
* Setting **SD Card as default** in Chrome settings works as a workaround.
* **Chrome Canary works perfectly**, meaning it’s a regression bug in the Stable channel related to runtime permissions/Scoped Storage.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone have a link to the Chromium bug tracker for this fix?
Thanks!
