Copy Kodi addon to Z8 Pro possible?

Hi.

Is there any way to copy a customized Kodi addon's folder to '/kodi/userdata/addon_data/[addon folder]' from a Windows build to Kodi on a Z8 Pro?

I use the backup app on Kodi, copy it to my Z8, then use backup app to restore it

Ah. Kodi Repo > Program add-ons > Backup

It dawned on me I used to use the Kodi / XBMC File Manager to do this manually. I'll back my Z8 up and have a go at it. Thanks oh masked seducer.

Oops.. Neither the Kodi Backup addon nor the default Kodi system File Manager seems to want to either backup or access the main '/Kodi/addons' folder in Formuler's Android filesystem.

I managed to get most files for the full Kodi installation copied to a USB thumb drive in Windows via Kodi's File Manager before it choked and exited. The files the backup addon saved to the USB stick on the Z8 were only those in /Kodi/userdata.

I managed to get the all Kodi's files in Windows synced to the USB drive with Windows Explorer, but with no access to the complete installation in Formuler's Android, I'm left scratching my head. The default folder for Kodi in Android is apparently /data, but Formuler seems to have blocked access to it.
