I don't know why it would be a new thing, since android has required permissions for viewing the devices files for as long as I can remember. (~android 7)
Unless the default for you changed from allowed to disallowed, and I couldn't explain that.
Android's permissions were criticized for being too broad, as I use to read, so unless that changed, I also wouldn't be surprised if they were still making them more granular.
I haven't used KDE connect much, otherwise. Someone else would need to answer that.

Message-ID: <1604ee37-772a-05bf-af7d-cf46a294eb73@gmail.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowedI have a computer with 8B RAM and Kubuntu 18.04 with Dolphin file
manager and 2 mobile phones, an LG X charge and a Moto e5 cruise. When I
use KDE connect to copy files from either one to the computer, they're
corrupted. Pictures don't display. Audio and video files won't play.
I have no trouble copying files to either phone. Anyone have an idea
what's going on or whether or not it can be fixed? After an update on
the phone a few weeks ago, I noticed I could no longer use Dolphin to
see files on the phone. I did some looking and found that I have to give
KDE connect permission to see the local filesystem. Is it my
imagination or is Android getting so strict with security that it's
getting in the way of the owner of the phone using it?------------------------------
