I am trying to use a symlink to save pictures generated by an android app in the /home/nemo/android_storage/Pictures/AndroidApp onto the external SDcard.
However when selecting save image in android app nothing happens. When i replace the symlink by a regular folder it saves the image again.
In the file explorer when i select the symlink by hand it goes to the SD card specified pictures folder just fine.

Found the answer:
I believe allowing android apps to read symlink defined folder would actually be more secure then remounting the SD card and alllowing all content be read by all android apps.

Here is the proposed solution on github, however the bash nano command cannot be found when i enter it in the terminal, the other question where do i save files .sh and .service?
@lakutalo thanks i got nano installed, in the GitHub instructions i replaced UUID with my SD card mount ID, i have no luck with the procedure, Android still wont recognize when creating a symlink from android_storage to the external SD card, any other fields that need to be customized in the procedure?
I rebooted the phone too.
