Android Device Monitor File Explorer not working with emulator running API 24+

Till Android Lollypop emulators, we can access the file explorer folders. If the emulator is created with marshmallow or higher, we cant access the file explorer. May be this is bug from API level 24+.

A temporary solution, which worked at least for my needs, was to install file manager .apk (I used Astro file manager .apk) - just drag/drop .apk to emulator window. Another very useful utility - ImDisk - which let's mount sdcard .img of virtual device. If you mount it as readonly ejectable device, you can have realtime access to virtual device file system

A workaround using the adb command line tool:

root@mypc ~ $ adb kill-server
root@mypc ~ $ adb start-server
root@mypc ~ $ adb root

Now you can browse through the file system using the linux ls command:

root@mypc ~ $ adb shell ls -all /
total 3688

This is bug in Android Device Monitor and has been reported to google.
