@organicmaps Hmm so right now any app can access any file in the downloads folder?

Like, pdfs of payslips or whatever?

@PossiblyMax yes with external storage permission (also allows to read any other files and folders on Android 10 and below), and yes on android 12 and below for apps without such privacy-unfriendly permission.

@organicmaps @PossiblyMax I don't understand. Isn't this better? Its more sandboxed, like flatpak.

@organicmaps You can delete "to the Downloads folder".

I shouldn't have to rely on someone's exploit to give me administrative access to a personal computer I purchased outright with my own money.
