Bug ID: 453555
Summary: No permission available to access all files
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: android-application
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
In version 1.19.1 of the Android app, in a Galaxy M62 running Android 12, I
cannot expose the entire phone's filesystem to my desktop PC.
This is because when I am asked to choose the folder to expose, I cannot choose
the root folder. Indeed there are many folders I cannot choose (such as
Downloads).
I looked through the app's permissions (I had allowed everything) and I found I
was only able to give the app permission to access media files, not all files.
This must be the issue.
If I go to VLC's permission, yes, I have given it permission to mess with media
files only - BUT it still allows me to give it access to the entire filesystem
if I so wanted. KDE Connect (the Android app) IMO must include such an option
because without it the "browse phone's files" feature is severely limited; you
can't access all folders and the ones you do you have to manually add in the
plugin's settings, so it's extra annoying.
