~ 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)
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
Fork won’t let me edit the folder paths, so it looks like I’ll have to start all over again, which is annoying but not the end of the world. Guess I’ll be setting FDroid to not update apps automatically, but even so I probably would not have noticed (or understood) the change in the release notes.
