- sirdvd 1y ago> permission that they want "they", in my case it's me. With on my own Nextcloud server, on my own LAN. It's me that want "access to everything everywhere". Difficult for me to think that is not about gate keeping from Google.
- jasonlotito 1y agoCurious also, why can't users have access to everything everywhere for their own files?
- nolist_policy 1y agoUsers can access almost everything everywhere with file manager apps. On the Play Store, file manager apps are one of the exceptions that are allowed to access all files.
- criddell 1y agoUsually the answer is that it creates more problems for more people than it solves. The work involved to add options to allow full access is substantial and could increase the attack surface. Features that are expensive but only useful to a small portion of the userbase often don't get prioritized.
- hkt 1y agoFeatures that are useful to competitors who would like to provide an alternative to a Google product also don't get prioritised, it seems.
