Details

(Whiteboard: [fxdroid][group4])

When the user selects the Downloads location, the Android File Picker might show cloud storages. I know it is the case with Nextcloud, but we would need to investigate which other popular apps have the same behavior.

With the location selector implemented in D275775, when the user selects a folder under Nextcloud, the selected location will be rendered as a kind id that is not user friendly.

We want to investigate:

  • if we can really get write permissions.
    • if yes, can we show the real name of the selected folder? 
    • if no, then we need to decide how to prevent users from selecting those paths, or show an error message when they do.
