complete newbie questions
No arrows please!
I'm really intrigued by the functionality of astiga, but I've hit a few roadblocks, and I wonder if I'm heading down the wrong road for some reason.
1) Google PlayStore claims that the version of the Astiga app there is too old for my (brand new) Android (Samsung A57). Is this accurate?
2). I made no progress with the link to the Astiga service (demo ware?). I could not make it see anything on my OneDrive.
3). Even if I had succeeded at (2), because I'm not willing to share my main OneDrive data with any online service, I attempted to make a new account with just a shared OneDrive music folder (from main account). I suspect this might not work, but don't really understand the problem in (2) so I can't say.
Any help on these issues would be appreciated.
(And a pox on Samsung for eliminating their additional microSD storage slot .. at least for the A series.)

I wasn't aware this was an issue - looks like Android 16. I'll double check and we'll get a fix out if it is!

You should be able to add a storage account from https://play.asti.ga/setup/choose-storage . Is that what you were doing? There doesn't appear to be a part-configured account there right now, so let us know what problem you were hitting. Regarding "initial folder": if in doubt, leave it blank.

Yeah, that's the only workaround unfortunately. These connections to backend storage generally don't give the opportunity to tie specific permissions to specific folders.
