I don't use the fork but I can see it has scope to request storage permissions: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/com.github.catfriend1.syncthing

Perhaps it only does this if the user wants to sync data outside the SAF?
- nixosbestos 2y agoFWIW, I just checked and the only permission I have granted to SyncThingFork is "notifications". I think it optimistically requests all, but I can testify that it works fine without granting it all storage access. I just had to create/select a subdir in my SyncThingFork directory. I don't really know how the restricted storage access works. Maybe it's that if /another/ app has already claimed a directory, that SyncThing needs more permissions to be able to sync it? But that seems unlikely, just speculating.
