And Album app has same issue.

April 25, 2017 was a system update from Android 7.0 to 7.1.1. All applications I have had with access to write to SD card lost the ability to save. Normally this was done under 7.0 that the application asked if it could write to the SD card and gave it permission (without root). After updating to 7.1.1, nothing like this does not pop up and the previously granted permissions do not work. Some very important for me to work application is not even have access to their data on the card. Under 7.0 everything worked bdb. Does anyone know if there might be some extra "bird" (from Sony) that allows this ...? Did Sony or Google break something?

Same issue here. Spotify lost its saved music, and is not able to sync to SD card anymore (it does not even show the storage choice in its settings, even after an app reset). Any solution?
Maybe we should format the SD card.

EDIT: I’ve just tried to format SD card and it still does not work…

Hey Tobbyax, I'm still looking for a solution to this ...

Hey Tobbyax, I'm still looking for a solution to this ...

I’ve loosely chosen the factory reset solution. And it immediately worked: I can now see the “storage” option back in Spotify, and choose SD card.

Edit: and it stopped working after a while, I don't know why... ?

I’ve reset again my phone, and as expected, it worked again. I think I found the triggering operation that causes these apps not to be able to write on the SD card.
Everything was working fine, I proceeded only one operation: crypting SD card. Just after that, SD card was unavailable for these apps. Even after disabling encryption on sd card, it didn’t get back to normal behavior. I think I will have to reset my phone again.

Very very strange. Sony had to break something in the software...

I confirm it works fine after a reset and no SD card encryption activated.
If some brave tester wants to activate SD encryption and see if there is the same issue... ?

That is a speedy sec-update for any manufacturer, let alone Sony!
