Xamarin UWP access denied to local storage

Question

In my manifest i activated access to storage and access in my localstorage is always denied when 2 or more folders :

_packageName_\LocalState\<HERE>  is ok
_packageName_\LocalState\folder1\<HERE>  is ok
_packageName_\LocalState\folder1\folder2\<HERE>  is denied

I don't know why i can access to my OWN localstorage when more than 2 folders... And it works when less !

NOTE : Access is denied only when i want to read files, i can create folders and file anywhere in my local storage

In Xamarin UWP apps, you could not directly use Windows.Storage APIs. The solution for your scenario is that you should create a DependencyService in your project. The DependencyService class is a service locator that enables Xamarin.Forms applications to invoke native platform functionality from shared code. So in this way, you could call the native UWP Windows.Storage APIs and get the file that you want for your app.
