Description

When I try to copy/paste a file from the internal storage to my SD card, an empty file (size: 0 byte) appears on my SD card that I can't open but with the right name.

I tried to do the same thing with the same file, but this time from the Android built-in file manager, and it worked. I can open the file, and it's written that it has a positive size on the built-in manager. But Amaze File Manager, after a refresh, still shows that the file is empty and I can't open it from there.

So then, I tried to copy/paste another file from my internal storage to my SD card using Amaze File Manager but trying to open it from the built-in file manager and indeed, there, the file is normal in my SD card even though AFM considers it as empty

I have a Xiaomi Mi A1 with Android 8.0

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. First reproduce the copy from internal storage to an SD card on the reported Android setup, then compare Amaze File Manager's displayed size and open behavior with Android's built-in file manager. Done means copied files have their correct size and can be opened consistently in Amaze File Manager.
