One such client is NewPipe.It is a full featured, third party, open source YouTube client for Android. But there are a lot of third party clients that allow you to go beyond what the official app allows. You might even have disabled this yourself, knowingly or unknowingly. YouTube being a Google product, obviously has a full featured Android app. If you're using a custom ROM, it could be lacking a critical system app that handles all SAF operations: DocumentsUI ( ). You must choose a separate folder, ideally a newly created one that will only be used for NewPipe, to keep your NewPipe downloads, as well as your files intended for export from/import into NewPipe. The main thing to note is that on Android 11 and higher, you cannot use the Download folder for your files, nor the top level of your internal storage or external SD Card (the one that contains your usual folders: Android, Download, Movies, Music, etc.). In NewPipe's case, this means that you need to ensure the folders NewPipe saves files to, or reads from, are accessible to the app. Librewolf is more or less a small layer on top of Firefox geared towards privacy maximizing privacy (which always entails some usability. I use Invidious on Librewolf and Newpipe on Android. There is no restriction that you can't use them for your appropriate devices. This means that Android highly restricts the access apps have to user folders (for very good privacy and security reasons).īut it means that users need to relearn their habits when choosing folders for apps. Freetube is for desktop, Invidious is web, Newpipe and LibreTube are app. The Storage Access Framework Google introduced with Android KitKat has been enforced since Android 11.
