Now, Android does this and only this, which is insane. It won't let you grant access to the main storage, Downloads or any other standard folder even if you explicitly navigate to it and select it.


Afaik access to main storage can only be granted if the app declares the "all files" permission. I'm not sure what's the deal with the downloads folder though
