Why did Syncthing Fork change its default directory? (lemmy.ml)

~ used to mean "/storage/emulated/0/" and now they decided to change it for no apparent reason to "/storage/emulated/0/syncthing/" screwing up my entire setup ("folder path missing"). Just noticed this with 1.29.6.1. What gives? 😠

EDIT: I guess this isn't too hard to fix, but still . . .

Google has been blocking storage access on /storage/emulated/0 or /sdcard/ for a bit now in the name of "safety". If the app requests root permissions (and you're rooted ofc) you can bypass this restriction

If I'm on Graphene, l guess this shouldn't be a problem (it hasn't so far).

Are you using the app from Google Play or F-Droid? I don't use syncthing but I think that rule is enforced by the play store and not Android (see recent Nextcloud issue)

[–] zdhzm2pgp@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's F-Droid!

It shouldn't need to comply with that restriction then, but the devs may make it to simplify the code base between the two versions
