Expo’s FileSystem module can copy/move/etc. files that are previously saved in the app’s scope (for example via ImagePicker or using Asset.loadAsync). ImagerEditor is a core React Native functionality and it saves your image to a file that is outside Expo’s scope, thus FileSystem cannot perform actions on this file. Is this a bit clearer now?
