    How do I write to my External storage on my android phone.
    It should be possible for magicdosbox to simply request permission for me to write to the drive same as any other program can.
    Why isn’t this a feature of magicdosbox?

    If you mean sdcard then please read in-app documentation and section about problems with sdcard here on website. Then you will understand what is going on and you will find solution

    1. You are wrong, it is not simple “write” request, it needs many fixes in dosbox core.
    2. You are wrong with “any other applications”
    3. You are wrong with “not implemented in magic dosbox”. Yes, cant save configs to sdcard, but games are fixed and can write if you ask for permissions in global settings

    If you mean NAS then write access is not supported

    Please specify

    Best regards,
    Tony

    Maybe I can add this request to “Welcome screen” in the future. This would be more intuitive.
