SD Card writeable but "/Android" directory not? (even not for the system)

Hey there,

I do use a HTC10 with an SD card and have the SD card working as adoptable/internal storage.
So far all works fine but I do have a problem with the "/Android" directory being on "/storage/emulated/0/Android" (or "/sdcard/Android" - I'm a bit confused about that).
While I can write to my SD Card (creating a folder for instance) using ES File Explorer Pro just fine, I cannot write to the "/Android" folder. That wouldn't be a problem but the system itself seems to lack permissions to do so as well?!

I deinstalled Dropbox, decided to "delete all settings and files" when asked by Android but got a toast message saying "cannot delete "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/.com.blabla.dropbox". Also I cannot create a directory under this "/Android" folder, ES File Explorer gives me "This task failed".

I assume there might be some confusion with partitions and permissions - anyway you know a way to help?

With kind regards,

Sam
