App does not maintain permissions for files opened #17929
Description
⚠️ Before posting ⚠️
- This is a bug, not a question or an enhancement.
- I've searched for similar issues and didn't find a duplicate.
- I've written a clear and descriptive title for this issue, not just "Bug" or "Crash".
- I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.
Steps to reproduce
Open file using nextcloud app (I open a password store using keepass2)
File opens, all is OK
Next day, try and sync a change made to a password inside the keepass app... keepass gives this error screenshot attached.
Expected behaviour
The nextcloud app should be sharing a long term viable permission to access the file
Actual behaviour
Given nextcloud gave the permission, I may be wrong but I think keepass is not at fault, I think nextcloud app must be rescinding the file permission.

@extorn Hey,
Could you please test via this PR: #17939 ? QA APK will be generated.
extorn commentedon Nov 3, 2026
Yes. Thanks very much for the prompt fix. The PR contains a change very much like I expected it to :-)
I'm surprised no-one else has encountered this already. I kept hoping it would be fixed after each new release, I guess others thought the same.
I'll report back in a week, please chase me if I don't or you need a reply sooner
Kind regards

Hi @alperozturk96 . This QA APK seems to work solving the problem completely. I've not experienced the error since using this version, thanks. Could you let me know once I can go back to using the standard release from Google Play Store please.
Thanks
:-)
