# Which Android Build Should I Pick?
The Android build has been split into two new download options, those being the vanilla and googleplay builds.
The vanilla version uses a new method of filesystem access which is significantly faster and more simple, but isn't permitted by the Google Play store due to its use of the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. This new system is in its infancy, and is mostly the same as the googleplay variant, so the performance improvements won't yet be apparent. Filesystem performance should noticeably improve in the next few major releases as more functionality is migrated to the new system.
The googleplay version is compliant with Google Play Store regulations, and uses the old SAF-based method. This build will not see the performance improvements present in the vanilla build.
Unless you have a particular reason to use the googleplay build or you are downloading the app from the Google Play Store, **the vanilla version is recommended.**
