What does mergStoragePath("downloads") give you? It should be the path to the
public downloads folder you would see in Android File Transfer etc.
specialFolderPath("external documents") should give you a path to a private
documents folder which the user can't see when browsing the device.
Lots of devices have multiple sd cards though or do what yours does (mine does
too) and has an internal partition for the public directories. There appears to
be no standard api to list all of them and they can be different on each
device... I just found some java code here that could be translated to LiveCode
fairly easily if you really need to save on an sd card rather than just in a
public directory:
