    They bullied Syncthing the same way. Fortunately, Syncthing-fork is still developed and available on F-droid.

    I understand a well-curated app store (which Play Store is not) placing some limits on apps getting all files access. In a modern security model, that’s not a permission most apps should have, however synchronization and file management apps obviously should have it.

      And if you grant access to your own apps, but deny them to your competitors, that is totally a monopoly abuse

    Just switch to the F-Droid version.

    Better: make sure all the apps you use come from F-Droid
