Description

Android 11, Google Photos app, select photo, select Share, select Amaze File Manager (Save), within Amaze select target SMB network directory to save the photos to, press Save, popup message appears for a second saying the photo is being saved to the target directory. Result: nothing, photo file does not appear in the destination directory.

The same operation conducted within Amaze File Manager succeeds (i.e., locating and selecting the photo file within Amaze without going through Google Photos), saving to the same SMB network directory.

The same operation with Google Photos succeeds if a local directory is selected instead of the SMB network directory.

Amaze v3.7.0
Android 11, Moto G Power phone, current Google Photos
SMB destination: Win7 public folder, Amaze SMB link created with Win7 username/pwd

Research direction

Reproduce the Google Photos share flow described in the issue, comparing a local destination with the SMB network directory. Start by tracing the share/save handling and SMB destination behavior; done means a photo shared from Google Photos appears in the selected SMB directory, as it does for local destinations and Amaze-originated saves.
