Hi.
It’s better to have your Arduino installation outside OneDrive or Google Drive or similar cloud folders.

Hello Nomam!
I had problems with libraries too, the Arduino IDE couldn’t find it but it was there in the bookstore.
After trying a lot, I discovered that it was OneDrive that was causing the conflict, I uninstalled OneDrive and Arduino IDE, and it started working again.

Hi.
If you’re using Arduino 2, you should use this tutorial instead: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/arduino-ide-2-install-esp32-littlefs/

hi
its great tutorial. i am facing a problem.
i installed “LittleFS” for esp32 by downloading and copying the “esp32fs.jar” file to appropriate folder as described.
but i can’t see any “esp32 sketch uploader” in my “tools” menu .
and one more thing, in my arduino IDE (version 2.3.6), my sketchbook location is
“c:\Users\nomit\OneDrive\Documents” does”onedrive” make effect?

Hi.
There is LittleFS support for ESP8266. See it here:https://randomnerdtutorials.com/arduino-ide-2-install-esp8266-littlefs/
Double-check your folder structure.
It is working just fine for me.

I’m sorry, this does not work for me.
Last year I installed littleFS for the ESP8266 and it worked. (With IDE 1.8) Now I have followed the instructions and created the folder structure for ESP32fs and copied the ESP32fs.jar into it and the IDE does not see it as an option. I have tried everything from restarting the computer after every change to opening Tools while a sketch is selected that has a data folder in the sketch folder.
It goes without saying that the ESP8266LittleFS is not available in IDE 2.3.3 so the Tools/”Partition scheme…” choices are sometimes greyed out.
I’m using IDE 2.3.3 and 1.8 to program an ESP-WROOM-32 -it uploads sketches when selected as “ESP32 Dev Kit” OR “ESP32-WROOM-DA Module”.
I am having lots of problems and while I have plenty of time being retired, it is all wasted time and very frustrating. Any suggestions on how to force the IDE to do what it should?

In reply to Boris. Hi. Try selecting ESP32 dev module and then the partition scheme. I'm not sure if it will compile because you have an s3, but try it out. Regards, Sara

Hello

As there is no partition scheme to select 16mb littlefs for my esp32 s3 dev module, I wonder how I can use 16mb to upload files? I tried uploading some png files which have max 2mb in total but I always get message that there is not enough space. I tried different available schemes but no success.

Thanks a lot for an helpful hint.

Hi.
Maybe you installed a different jar file.
Make sure it is the one from the link we provide in the tutorial:

Hi and thanks for this solution.
I installed the .jar file, i have the option into the Tools> menu but, when I select to upload the files, i have no “Select the LittleFS” option!
ArduinoIDE 1.8.x and everything else is OK…
