Pretty much every game and every social media app asked for full storage access under the guise of "downloading game files" or "allowing our photo picker to work".

Then they got free access to all your photos and their location data and all your documents and downloads. Yes, including those banking statements downloaded as PDFs. Forever. In background. Whenever.

That's the access Nextcloud demands instead of using the API where YOU choose what it can read.
