AFAIK this permission has to be requested at runtime, it's not automatically granted.

AFAIK this permission has to be requested at runtime, it's not automatically granted.

Seems to work, according to users in #6248

But here it is said that it "requires explicit user consent in order to gain access to this information":

I'm wondering if the need for this is only arising as a side effect of permitting users to choose to permit All Files Access (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE / ACTION_MANAGE_ALL_FILES_ACCESS_PERMISSION)... or not.

What if we just don't let them choose and make it "You must say yes" to this intent action when you install if you want Nextcloud to function properly.

Storage permissions are a PITA to sort out with all the different Android versions. 😢 Worse if we support different combinations of permissions by default.

blue-Light-Screenshot test failed, but no output was generated. Maybe a preliminary stage failed.
