-===== Nothing changes with the "All files access" permission =====
-With it, Locus Map can work with data (maps, SRTM data, geotagged photos...) placed in subdirectories all over the device storage. If you haven't granted the permission at the app start, you can do so additionally after opening //Locus settings > Miscellaneous > Default directories > Set custom sub-directories//.
-===== What to do without the "All files access" permission? =====
 It is no longer possible to use previously defined custom sub-directories due to the [[manual:faq:android_11_filesystem|recent changes in the Android file system]] - the **custom data have to be transferred to the app private folder**.

 ===== External maps =====
-Linking of the maps from external directories is also no longer supported without the "All files access" permission. **The external maps can be used only within the default ///Locus/Maps/// directory or in ///Android/Media/menion.locus.android/Maps/// or ///MapsVector/// directories.** Both directories are available in the internal and external storages.

 Then **restart Locus Map** - the maps in the new directories will be automatically added to the map manager.
