Description paolomentasti99 2020-12-31 10:57:57 UTC 
It cannot receive files from desktop, even if access to directory (Download or whatsoever) was granted. `logcat` displays a "permission denied" error.
This issue only happens with Android >= 10, so I guess it's caused by the Android >= 10 storage handler.

A quick fix (tested) is adding `android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"`  to the manifest, otherwise the `MediaStore` api should be used.

This bug occurs on both of my phones (Android 10 & 11).
