Description

I cannot download files. The app says "no access to storage directory". However, it never asks permission nor can I grant storage permission from the system settings.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the file-download flow on Android and inspect how the app handles storage access when the permission is missing. Done means the app either requests the required permission or provides a working system-settings path, and downloads complete successfully afterward.
