How does the app handle the integration of newer Android file access protocols, like Storage Access Framework (SAF), especially for operations like multi-share or file path copying in Android versions 10 and above?

It doesn't, it opts out of it and tries to gain MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission which enables direct manipulation of files.

(Which I guess is why it's not available on Play Store).
