Feedback

You can report problems by creating a new issue here on GitHub (Please check out the known issues as well as previously reported issues before posting). Note that the new rclone background service notification is not a bug but required when "Enable Content Provider Preview" is enabled. If it is not actively used, it will stop itself the next time Android asks for more resources.

Known issues

  • The new SAF provider can get stuck in an invalid state, requiring force-closing both RCX and Android's Download/Files app.
  • The "Bug Report" session feature does not yet work.
  • The update notification feature does not work.
