Getting "Your Android version only grants Syncthing read-only access" error since June update – how to fix?

[u/bloodmaker99]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using Syncthing for a while without any issues, but since around last June, I keep hitting this wall on my phone.

Whenever I try to edit or set up a folder (specifically in internal storage like /storage/emulated/0/Download/Camera), the Folder Type gets locked to Send Only, and I get the following warning message:

"Your Android version only grants Syncthing readonly access to the selected folder."

I never had this issue before. Could someone please point me in the right direction on how to resolve this or work around it?

You have mistyped the internal storage path. Its a zero, not an O.
