If you are building your own pilboxes, it seems like the easiest way for
now would be to add the requestLegacyExternalStorage flag to the app
manifest, or bump the target API version down to 28:
https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/use-cases#opt-out-scoped-storage
If you are using the Play Store version, that we might have to lobby
Alex to make an update that sets this flag, which he should be able to
do as long as he has not already set the the target API version of the
published app to 30. If a version with target API 30 has already been
published then we are past the point of no return.
To cooperate with the storage access framework past API 29 is very
tricky. Termux recently abandoned their Play Store distributed version
and is only distributing through F-Droid in the future for just this
reason (so they can continue targeting an older API version that does
not yet enforce these restrictions). Pilbox may need to consider such a
course for the future, if Alex isn't already doing it.

Yes: Android 10 vs 9. So, how do I get files out of pilbox on Android 10?
Thanks!

Android has been locking thing down to require use of the Storage
Access
Framework in the most recent version of the OS, I believe.
