Well on iOS if you grant an app Files & Folders permission it also has permanent RW access to all your files visible in the Files app. I could use for example Möbius Sync (Syncthing) to sync all my documents from my desktop, then use PDF Viewer to annotate a PDF that was stored in the Möbius sync app. Users want this behavior which is why Apple finally relented and added the Files app and associated APIs. Why wouldn’t users feel safe?
- traderj0e 6mo agoIt's a niche feature that most apps don't need to function. If apps relied on that harder and people were constantly managing important files in there like on a desktop, they probably wouldn't feel safe with the permissions. I had to look to see what's even in my phone's Files app... looks like WhatsApp saved its received photos in there and I accidentally downloaded a couple of files in Safari. Except I didn't give WhatsApp permission, so idk what the rules are with that.
