Please tell me, can SiYuan app for Android phones install plugins like on PC? because apparently she CANNOT. I wanted to use the Better Sync plugin to sync my notes on PC and phone through it, but I want the plugin to be installed on both devices. ANOTHER QUESTION: can I choose where SIYuan stores the workspace on my phone? It's just that by default it stores all workspace folders on the path \Android\data\org.b3log.siyuan\files
CAN I INSTALL PLUGIN ON AN ANDROID DEVICE?

Regarding plugin installation on Android:
Yes, you CAN install plugins on the mobile version of SiYuan. Here's how:
- In SiYuan Android app, go to Settings → About → Enable Local Network Serving (打开网络伺服功能)
- Open a browser on your phone and navigate to the SiYuan local server address
- Switch the browser to Desktop View / Desktop Mode
- In the browser, click Settings → Marketplace — from there you can install themes and plugins, and they'll sync with your setup.
After that, you can install the siyuan_mobile_marketplace plugin, which gives you direct access to the marketplace from the SiYuan mobile sidebar — so you won't need to go through the browser workaround anymore.
Regarding workspace storage location on Android:
The workspace is stored under the current path (
\Android\data\org.b3log.siyuan\files) to comply with Android's permission/scoped storage requirements. As of now, there's no plan to support changing the workspace to external storage. This is a system-level restriction on Android's side.
