Description
To reproduce
- Insert a USB disk and press the "Explore" button.
- Choose Material Files to handle it (in the "Use another app" section). Notice that its action is "Save as".
Instead of mounting and opening the USB disk, Material Files will try to save a file named as the device UUID to your internal storage:
System info
- Motorola Moto G32 (devon)
- CalyxOS 5.14.2
- Material Files 1.7.4 (39) installed from F-Droid.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Reproduce the USB “Explore” flow on Android, then trace the entry point that handles the selected Material Files action and compare it with the expected mount-and-open behavior. Done means choosing Material Files opens the USB disk instead of offering “Save as” to internal storage.
