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

Question

So, just as question states. Android device monitor is not showing anything in the File Explorer view. This is only occuring on Virtual Devices running Android API Level 24

Answer 1

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
