title: Android Studios: Android Device Manager shows no files for Nougat 7.0 in File Explorer
body: <p>I'm learning how to integrate databases (SQLite) into my app.</p>
  
  <p>I checked out this <a href="https://youtu.be/p8TaTgr4uKM?t=10m" rel="nofollow noreferrer">tutorial</a> and at the 10m mark, OP enters the FileExplorer in Android Device Manager in Android Studio.</p>
  
  <p>Can't see ANY files in the File Explorer. <strong>Using the File Explorer is the desired result.</strong> Last Night, I've Rooted my Nexus 6p (7.0) and reinstalled Studio 2.2.2 after reading these stackoverflow dialogues with no desired result, the issue has a long history:</p>

      Maybe it's not just me, and something is wrong with Nougat 7.0, but there seems to be a continuous stream of the same issue.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm tempted to restart my application and try IntelliJ or Eclipse but I'm not sure if that would solve my problem.</p>
