    I understand the security implications, but I think I should at least have a say about what happens on my own phone

    The app in question is popular and open source. My SD card’s downloads folder is also unused and empty, as you can see. There is absolutely zero risk here

      But…… if you’re allowed to install into the downloads folder, then it wouldn’t be unused and empty…… ?

      Is this Schrödinger’s file system?

        OP isn’t trying to install into the downloads folder; they’re trying to grant an app access to the downloads folder to read and write data.

          Maybe I’m misunderstanding something here?

            An app can’t steal sensitive information from itself

      Why not just state what the app is, would make a lot more sense when you make it clear why it is required
