- ryukafalz 7y agoSome, I guess, but not enough to make much difference. The Flatpak for it mounts the user's home directory: https://github.com/flathub/us.zoom.Zoom/blob/master/us.zoom.Zoom.json#L14 https://github.com/flathub/us.zoom.Zoom/blob/master/us.zoom.... ...and the Snap seems to as well, though I'm less familiar with Snaps and it seems like this may not provide access to hidden files: https://github.com/ogra1/zoom-snap/blob/master/snap/snapcraft.yaml#L32 https://github.com/ogra1/zoom-snap/blob/master/snap/snapcraf... So your SSH keys may be safe there, your photos and documents probably aren't.
- ZeroCool2u 7y agoI think you can forcibly revoke that permission from the snap store interface.
