    The apps i use have to request disk access which i can approve or not. I always assumed that meant problems like this were not possible. I think many of us have been under a false impression because of this. I assumed the other apps were secured, which was foolish of me, I admit.

    I think the issue is that it becomes an everything or nothing. some people want to give apps access to their own documents but don't realize their are also giving access to things like their chat messages, cookies, etc.

    If they aim to provide a more granular approach while still allowing full access to those that need it, Im ok with that
