 Issue 633849  has been merged into this issue.
Reproduces with Minnie, Cyan, Samus (according to the reporter), but not reproducing with Link.
Seems Play Store integration is affecting exFAT.

I figure you are aware of this, but wanted to add the note as follow up just to be sure.

With Play Store integration, Android Apps have no access to either USB or SD media.  Only the built in SSD seems to be usable.  USB access would be very helpful though.

Experimented with multiple formatted partitions - FAT, exFAT, Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, and NTFS. 

- For non-ARC enabled device copying files proceeds successfully to these volumes.

- For ARC enabled device, copying files to exFAT and NTFS volumes is problematic and "Copy operation failed. The file could not be modified." is displayed in Files.app.
*had some initial issue with ext2, but started working after several retries.

status update: M-54 with android 3118366 should have a fix in; latest CrOS image does not yet have it.
we need a cherry-pick to stable branch.


re #5: For M53, You can have a read-only access from Chrome OS Files.app and choose to open an Android app from there.


Status: Fixed (was: Assigned)
Will be fixed in the next M53 release.
