Android 13 and higher and share files problems

[panagiotis merakos]

Hello Ludovic,

Which file explorer app do you use? As of Android 13, apps that need to
access media files that other apps have created, must request one or more
of the following granular media permissions instead of the
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission:

READ_MEDIA_IMAGES
READ_MEDIA_VIDEO
READ_MEDIA_AUDIO

So I assume the file explorer app you use might still use the (deprecated)
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. But this is just a guess.

RE the other issue with gmail - I suggest you file a bug report and attach
a sample stack and we will investigate.

Kind regards,
Panos
