After selecting multiple files and choosing a directory to save the file to, a prompt to "Allow Save to access files in [selected directory]" is asked every time.

Attempts were made using the methods described here without success.

Thanks for this really useful app! But I encountered the following issue:
If I share some pain text and try to save it with this app into a file the app crashes with this stack trace:

It seems the is no EXTRA_STREAM field in this case.

I tried using this to save a photo from the vector camera app in f-droid. The photo is actually a .jpg but save on device tries to save it as a png and the file comes up 0 bytes.

Title. Would be great if it's possible

This seems like a real useful little tool – a pity it's only installable via Google's walled garden. Would you mind making it available for users without access to the Playstore? Like, tagging releases and attaching the APK there, or have your app built and listed by F-Droid?

I've made a fdroid build recipe for this Save on Device app since I find it really useful: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/10077

Do you agree that we list it on f-droid.org?

please, is it possible to add min_sdk 21 (android 5.0) support,
or at least min_sdk 22 (android 5.1) it not possible first.
great thanks in advance.

Hi, I love the premise of your app! Using the regular "Downloads" app on my phone requires me to unblock System in my firewall, so I've had to make a workaround in Termux. It would be really nice to have a trustworthy FOSS app to save files. Unfortunately I'm still running Android 7.0. Is there any chance of getting this to work on an older version than 9? I would be really grateful!
