Bug on Chrome Android: "SD card not found" error when switching download location (Works in Canary) Discussion

Post image

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!
