  • Well for me it is not really that much of a hyperbole, I consider being able to access the files on your own device pretty much a necessity. Yes it is absolutely no problem that protections like this are enabled out of the box, but it should all be optional, even if that process is kind of difficult (disabling by connecting to a computer and doing some sort of configuration for example).

    Maybe I’m just upset because an update recently broke Android/data access and forced me to look for a new workaround for 30 minutes (to access my own files on the device I supposedly own!)








  • I’m sure, and it’s great for the usability of the products, I’m just always wary about updates changing settings in the background and not necessarily informing the user. Google is pulling this same thing with their ‘ad personalization’ tracking nonsense. Most users won’t know how to or won’t bother to opt out of something that was automatically turned on in the background, even if they would prefer it to be off if they had been asked.
